Volume II: The Harmony of Yin and Yang, Chapter 48
Chapter Forty-Eight: Embattled
He Hanwen had a very happy conversation with the messenger, but it was only on the surface, secretly with 8 points of vigilance, 1 point of vigilance, and the remaining 1 point of smiling flesh and not smiling.
He Hanwen: "Xiaozhu, come with wine." He commanded.
Although Xiaozhu's identity is different from before, her upbringing from the gate has made her know the rules, so she carefully stands outside the hall and waits, not allowing anyone to snoop inside the hall. At this time, when he heard He Hanwen's order, he immediately brought in the wine and snacks, put them on the table between the two, and then gently withdrew.
He Hanwen grabbed the wine glass, didn't care about the Qingtianlou envoy, drank it himself, and then put down the wine bottle, and said, "What does Mr. mean here, how about you just say it?"
For the people of Qingtianlou, He Hanwen probably doesn't look down on them, but it's not good to drive people out directly, so he faces each other coldly.
The Qingtianlou envoy didn't care, he raised the wine bottle and drank it all like He Hanwen, and he didn't answer, He Hanwen was even more unhappy, but he still endured it and didn't have a seizure - the social experience before crossing told him: Before figuring things out, it's best to restrain your emotions as much as possible, otherwise you will regret it.
Therefore, He Hanwen stopped and stared at the envoyβhe didn't even know the name of the envoy from the Qingtianlou on the other side.
I saw the messenger pick up a piece of snack and stuff it into his mouth, bulging without etiquette, and then said, "If the son wants to achieve great things, why can't he tolerate things?"
He Hanwen didn't laugh angrily, but he was extremely angry: "Mr. said that he laughed, why can't Hanwen tolerate things?"
The Qingtianlou envoy swallowed the snack in his mouth, and then accurately pointed out He Hanwen's psychological activities as if he had peeled off a cocoon: "Gongzi's court has a small night and repeated today, so Gongzi is upset but half jealous. Childe is talented, but he is also suspicious. Childe didn't have much affection for my Qingtianlou, after all, we like to bet on both sides - and Childe only likes to do certain things. Mr. Gongsun once commented on Gongzi: He Hanwen, tiger wolf. Seeking skin with it is a chestnut in the fire, and it cannot be done unless there is something that extraordinary people can't do. However, He Hanwen is extremely risk-averse and does not like to do things that he is not sure of. Although this person has great talent, he can become a capable minister who can rule the world, but in this troubled era, it is difficult to become a hegemon. With He Hanwen's talent, it is easy to be in a corner of peace, but it is difficult to expand the territory as Shu Road, as if ascending to the sky. β
The envoy of Qingtianlou felt a little dry, so he picked up the wine bottle and prepared to drink again, but saw that there was no wine in the cup.
He Hanwen listened to the words of the envoy, his face was solemn, and when he saw that the messenger was thirsty, he called Xiaozhu again: "Xiaozhu, pour wine!"
Xiaozhu listened to the master's call, and immediately brought a barrel of hot wine, stood beside the messenger, and carefully handled the lamp.
He Hanwen: "Sir, please continue. He said.
The messenger didn't care, smiled happily, and then continued: "Gongzi thinks very highly of himself, and it is normal for people to look down on the business of Qingtianlou. In addition, the sudden visit under the child aroused the vigilance of the child, and I am afraid that there is such a behavior. β
He Hanwen immediately clapped his hands and stood up when he heard this, and said: "Mr. is every word, Hanwen is like a wake-up awakening, dare to ask Mr. name?"
As soon as He Hanwen made a bow, he saw a gust of wind rise in the hall, and something hit the messenger of the Qingtianlou like lightning.
The messenger was startled, and suddenly turned into a puff of red smoke, but the figure emerged from the wall of the lobby.
He Hanwen was also surprised, and when he looked at the screen, he saw a big hole, but he didn't know what it was, but he smelled a familiar smell in the dark.
"Li Shen, is that you?" He Hanwen tried to call.
I saw a huge figure turn out from behind the screen, which was Li Shen's demon body. I saw that the hair on her back stood upright, flames burned under her four feet, her tail stood high, and she bared her teeth and glared angrily at the envoy of the Blue Sky Tower.
Li Shen: "Stupid guy, run!" she said.
He Hanwen was puzzled by Li Shen's actions, but he immediately came back to his senses, immediately retreated quickly, and then said, "This is demonic?"
Li Shen called: "Yes, Meow can smell her from afar." Hmph! Slut! What do you want? Truthfully invite you! Do you want to harm Hanwen's life? Who instructed you! Hanwen is a member of my Wuling Mountain Tianmen, how dare you do harm!"
When the messenger saw Li Shen's demon body, he immediately showed his true face, but it was a demon fox with the same red body. He Hanwen looked carefully and saw that it had two tails, and then looked at its face, but he almost lost his mind.
Li Shen noticed that He Hanwen was wrong, and immediately pumped his tail to He Hanwen's face, and He Hanwen's lips were swollen.
Li Shen: "Stupid guy, the slut is a fox demon, don't look at his face!"
He Hanwen complained: "I know, I know, you are too ruthless! But don't worry, I don't think this fox has any intention of harming you." β
When the fox demon heard He Hanwen's words, he immediately explained: "Girl, let's take the supernatural powers! As the son said, the concubine has no malicious intentions. β
Li Shen: "Sluts still dare to talk nonsense? If there is no malice, why pretend?"
The demon fox hurriedly explained: "Girl, listen to the concubine! The concubine doesn't know what the child's attitude is towards the demon, so it is prudent to disguise it! Besides, if the concubine intends to harm the son, she has already done it, so why wait until the girl arrives? Isn't the concubine cocooning herself?"
He Hanwen listened to the words and said, "Li Shen, let's take the demon body first! You see that Xiaozhu is frightened, it's okay." This girl, why don't you receive the supernatural powers first?"
After He Hanwen finished speaking, he helped Xiaozhu who fell to the ground to be comforted, but Li Shen was a little angry when he saw it, but he also believed He Hanwen's judgment. Therefore, he took the demon body and changed into a human form.
Seeing that Li Shen had received his magical powers, the demon fox also flashed with inspiration, and a beautiful and gentle woman stood in the hall, and then saluted, and said: "The son can be called the concubine "matchmaker", and the matchmaker has seen the son!"
He Hanwen didn't dare to look at her face anymore, lowered his head and said, "The girl doesn't have to be polite, please come to the table and say a word." β
Xiaozhu helped He Hanwen to the seat at this moment, took out a handkerchief, and carefully cleaned He Hanwen's swollen mouth that was sucked by Li Shen's tail - she was distressed.
When Li Shen saw He Hanwen and Xiaozhu Qingqing, he immediately felt as if he had knocked over the vinegar jar, so he ran over in a hurry, snatched the handkerchief from Xiaozhu's hand, and cleaned it up for He Hanwen, causing Xiaozhu to look at Li Shen angrily, and the matchmaker smiled when she saw it and covered her face with a fan in her hand.
Li Shen: "Stupid guy, don't laugh! Why are you keeping your head down?"
He Hanwen: "Didn't you tell me not to look at her face?"
Li Shen: "She has already received supernatural powers, you can see her face now... Forget it, you better keep your head down, you stupid guy, short and ugly, why are there so many women around?"
He Hanwen: "How do I know! You ask me, who do I ask? Okay, Xiaozhu, you can rest for a while." Matchmaker, in this case, why don't you get straight to the point?"
Matchmaker: "That's fine, Childe, Matchmaker is just entrusted by her brother to remind Childe of one thing." β
He Hanwen: "What's the matter?"
Matchmaker: "Recently, many people have been eyeing Gongzi, and what Gongzi Handan did seems to be a bit high-profile." Here is a list of forces that have malicious intentions towards Childe, some of which are just speculations and have not been confirmed. can hide the eyeliner of Qingtianlou, and it is no less powerful than Qingtianlou. β
He Hanwen took the bamboo slip with a deep face, unfolded it to look at the handwriting on it, and his eyebrows gradually twisted together.
He Hanwen: "Embattled!"
Matchmaker: "Exactly. β
