Chapter 271: Autumn Rain Is As Precious as Oil
Now in Liu Xiayu's eyes, the only person who is really terrifying is Zhuge Chen. Although he is the only son of the official Shangshu, no matter his identity and status, he is not comparable with that military general at all. But the other party killed him in front of his eyes, as if he didn't think about the consequences at all. It can be seen that the white clothes killed him, which is just a matter of raising his hand. Even if it was investigated afterwards, there were elders from Kuhai Academy who came forward to stop it. Although the power of the Great Merchants is great, it is still much worse than the only four academies in the entire world.
What's more, for the sake of a son of Shangshu?
Don't say it's him, even if his father died at the hands of the white clothes, this matter will only be over.
Zhuge Chen walked to his side, sat on the bench next to the railing of the long pavilion, and said softly: "Actually, there is not much difference between you and whether you die or not. The reason why the Cuiyue Commercial Bank is in the highest position among you is because he is at the foot of the imperial city of the Great Shang Dynasty, and he has to rely on people to do things. The wrath of any high-ranking official can kill him. I'm different, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he can't control me. ”
Liu Xiayu's pupils dilated, as if she saw the hope of life: "Then you raise your noble hand and let me go!"
"How do you call me you now? This doesn't look like our Liu Gongzi's style!" Zhuge Chen said with a playful smile: "It's a pity that I gave you a chance, who told you not to cherish it? Then your life and death are not something I can decide." ”
It was raining outside the pavilion.
Zhuge Chen stood up and looked into the distance, he wanted to reach out and take it back, but a sharp pain in his chest forced him to sit down again, looking down at the hideous wound that was cut by the general's halberd.
In this way, the time for me to return to the top has to be postponed again. However, fortunately, there are still a few points of qi in the cultivation path, and the realm is steadily advancing, maybe by the time he can hold the sword again, he will already sit firmly in the destiny of heaven.
Of course, this is most likely wishful thinking, just as the farmer hopes for a bumper crop in the coming year, and the scholar hopes for three yuan. How could he, a cultivator, not have illusions about his realm soaring to the sky?
In desperation, Zhuge Chen used the flying sword as a medium to pull a stream of rain into his palm, he looked at a pool of clear water, and said happily: "Spring rain is as expensive as oil, why not this autumn rain?"
Immediately afterwards, he divided three shares and sent them to Wang Daxue, Cuiyue and Caili respectively: "Put it in front of you, is there any difference between today's autumn rain and the past?"
The three shook their heads.
Zhuge Chen said helplessly: "It's really rotten wood that can't be carved, the two of them can't see it, and you can't do it in the heavy snow?" When you arrive at the northern border of Dashang, the rain here is no different from Dayan...... I guess I can think about it, right?"
As if sensing his hypocrisy, Zhuge Chen turned his gaze back to Liu Xiayu's body, and said: "It's just that for Liu Gongzi, this great autumn rain is still belated, or it will not stop all year round." As long as the rain stops, you can send him away in the heavy snow. The food here is too poor, and we can't feast on the mouths of Liu Gongzi. ”
"You believe it again
Once in my hand, I promise that there will be no more crossings of the river and demolition of the bridge!" Liu Xiayu said hurriedly.
He has not yet experienced the life of a daughter with a group of wives and concubines, and it is impossible for him to die so willingly.
Zhuge Chen helped him untie the rope that had been binding him, and said softly: "In life, one wrong step and one wrong step, there is no turning back." But I like to do things and leave a line, it doesn't matter if I offend once, everyone just don't go their separate ways. But if you do it again, it will touch my bottom line. For such a person, he does not die, and I am not at ease. ”
After saying this, Zhuge Chen turned around and left. Let the jade ghost under the willow cry wolf howl, he never looked back. Even on the complexion, he was not shocked.
When he returned to the place where he had previously camped, Cuiyue stopped Zhuge Chen, who wanted to go in and sleep in his clothes.
Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Cuiyue frowned, pursed her lips, and bowed her head silently.
"If you want to thank me, you don't have to. As I've always said before, it's natural to take people's money to do things for others. If you want to apologize for the difficulties you have done to me before, you don't have to. My heart is not so small, and I will not deal with a woman. Zhuge Chen continued.
Who knew that Cuiyue shook her head and said, "No, I can't say a word about what I want to say to you, can I go into your tent and say it?"
"No problem!" Zhuge Chen stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the tent and made a gesture of please.
And Cui Yue suddenly turned around and said to Cai Li behind him: "This matter is very important, Sister Cai Li, can you avoid it?"
Cai Li was stunned on the spot, and after a while, she came back to her senses, nodded and left.
The two walked into the tent, Zhuge Chen sat cross-legged, and Cuiyue sat in a proper manner. Looking at the appearance, it looks like a ruffian hooligan is molesting a woman from a good family, but the ruffian looks very good, and it is inevitable that those small jasper who are in the boudoir will be moved by this. One by one, they scrambled to be teased by this ruffian, and since then they have become a fairy couple in the eyes of the world.
Something like this, Zhuge Chen didn't do it when he was young and ignorant. It's just that after being annoyed by that woman and having to move out of her family background to get rid of it, she hasn't done it again. Many times when you meet those young ruffians on the road, you will feel sympathy.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was inevitably very awkward. Zhuge Chen suddenly smiled, breaking the eerie silence.
Cuiyue raised her eyebrows and asked puzzledly, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhuge Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that it's a little subtle for lonely men and widows to be in the same room." No intention to be abrupt, you don't think too much about me and I don't do much, at least on this journey to escort the caravan to Dayan, we will always be in a master-servant relationship. Stuck on this topic, let's talk about you. If I can help, I won't refuse. ”
Cuiyue didn't go straight to the point, but instead said about Wang Daxue's body: "That brother of yours is really the eldest son of this generation of the Wang family on the southern border of Dayan?"
Zhuge Chen nodded: "Then there is still a fake? Those who dare to pretend to be this identity in Dashang can't do it without some guts." It's even more impossible in Dayan, unless you're not afraid of death. Why, don't you look like it?"
Tsukitsuki snorted.
Zhuge Chen laughed, he took out a pot of wine from his mustard seeds and put it in his hand, took a sip, and spit out two words comfortably. Then he looked at Cuiyue and said, "Come two?"
Cuiyue frowned, and said in a loud voice: "I don't drink it! I really don't understand you cultivators, what is there to drink wine, you have to ask for a drunken dream from the cup." ”
"Drunk and dreaming of death?" Zhuge Chen put these four words on his lips and savored them, and then laughed loudly: "This statement is good. In fact, as the only daughter of a business house, it is already good to be able to do your job, perhaps it should be said that it is very good. I don't know anything else, so I don't dare to say anything. There's just one thing, you have to change. Can't you really always look at people and things with your own impression, just like when you saw me at the beginning, you didn't think I was a liar who ate and waited for death? If this impression has not changed, what should you think when you see me drinking now? I'm afraid that I have long been disgusted with a useless drunkard like me, right?"
Tsukiyue was thoughtful.
Zhuge Chen continued: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about what you want to say!"
Cuiyue kept Zhuge Chen's words in her heart word for word, and then said: "The Liu family, is it really okay? You killed Liu Xiayu, they can't give up." ”
"Just trust me. Zhuge Chen replied: "Liu Xiayu is alive, and Liu Xiayu is dead, it is two different things. His death at my hands is another mystery here. For you Cuiyue Commercial Bank, the official department is naturally high, and if Liufu wants to move you, you can only use the medium of Liuxiayu. And now that he is dead, as long as there is a slight mistake in the Cuiyue Trading Bank, it will only be recorded on the head of the head of the Liu family. Adults remember villains too much, this is not a good thing in the eyes of the Dashang royal family! There are too many people who can be qualified for the position of the secretary of the ministry, and the Dashang royal family is so familiar with the emperor's mental tricks, it is impossible for you to let go because you are the head of the Liu family. As long as this is clear, it is impossible for the head of the Liu family to set his eyes on you, and maybe he will be afraid of political enemies planting false accusations and protect your business house!"
Cuiyue seems to understand, but she doesn't fully understand.
Zhuge Chen had no choice but to comfort: "Don't worry, your Cuiyue Commercial Bank will not have anything to do." ”
"What about you?" asked Cuiyue subconsciously. He immediately realized that he was wrong, and he blushed inadvertently.
"I'm fine, he's a scholar, and he doesn't have that much strength to hurt me. Zhuge Chen said softly: "Everything that should be explained has been explained, why don't you go back first, Miss Cuiyue." I should be tired, so I won't let you stay any longer. ”
After hearing this, Cuiyue stood up, walked to the curtain, turned her head and said, "That...... Caili likes you, why don't you try it with her? She's a good girl. ”
With that, she walked away. Even the flying skirt failed to give Zhuge Chen
Opportunity to see.
Bai Yi shook his head helplessly, got up and walked back to the bed. He listened quietly to the ticking sound of the autumn rain outside the camp tent hitting the tiles of the long pavilion, and his thoughts drifted away.
If there is also rain falling in the heavenly Brahma realm at this time, what kind of situation is it?
The rain was pouring down, and there were sword fairies fighting with swords. You can't get a drop of rain on your body, and anyone has to applaud. It's clear that it's past the age when I always think too much about it late at night, but on this rainy night, I still go back to the past.
Letting go of what he thought in his heart, the white clothes turned over, and fell into a deep sleep.
