Chapter 2: Re-entry into the Merchant Country
Entering the territory of the Shang Kingdom, except for the Beiliang Road and the Eastern Front, there are some pillows waiting for the battle, and the rest of the place is a peaceful and prosperous era of singing and dancing.
Seeing this scene, I have to say that the predecessor of the Shang Emperor was eloquent, full of ambition and means, and single-handedly built the enslaved Shang State into the current hegemon of the Four Kingdoms, and had the strength to dominate the world. In terms of life roles, he is definitely a good emperor for the country, but for Shang Tao, Shang Zeyi, and Shang Zerui, the roles of his brother and father other than the emperor are really scum, and it is no wonder that they joined forces to fight him.
After the battle of the source, the Shang Emperor has been wiped out, and the current Shang State is Shang Zerui.
Shang Zeyi, the prince's elder brother, knows very well that when he is the prince, he will care for him, and before that, Shang Zeyi was absolutely sure that he would try his best to help him, but now he is a little uncertain, after all, he is no longer the prince but the emperor.
One step apart, the crown prince and the Shang emperor have completely different responsibilities, the prince can still be willful, but the emperor can't, the emperor's words and deeds are related to the direction of the country, and he represents the will of the whole country. He can do wrong, but he can't act recklessly, because mistakes can be made up, and reckless actions can only lead to mistakes again and again, so every decision he makes cannot be based on his own preferences alone, but can only be considered in the interests of the country.
It is also difficult to go to Shangguo to rescue soldiers for Bailu City, Shang Zeyi sighed, and simply stopped thinking about it, and when the time came, he would act when the opportunity came.
He is now following a caravan back to sneak around the Golden Tower of the Shang King's City.
Although Shang Zerui, who was very good to him, is now the emperor, it is an indisputable fact that he killed the monarch and killed his father, but he killed the former Shang emperor.
The prestige of the former Shang Emperor in the Shang Kingdom, from the officialdom to the people, it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Shang Kingdom resents him, even Shang Zerui can't change it. If he dared to enter the Shang Kingdom openly, not to mention arriving at the Golden Tower of the Wangcheng, he would be chased and killed by the 100,000 elite armor soldiers of the Northern Liang Road all night before he crossed the Beiliang Road, so as to avenge the previous Shang Emperor.
The previous Shang Emperor is dead, but there are still many fanatical followers of the Shang Emperor in the Shang Dynasty, and they are so crazy that they dare to disobey Shang Zerui's orders. He is now without the realm of enlightenment, he is not invincible in the world, not to mention 100,000 armor, but 5,000, he can't bear it and will flee in the wilderness.
Therefore, I can only use this unfortunate method to find a caravan to hide in, and return to the Shang country under their cover.
The caravan he borrowed for cover belonged to the Ma family of the Shang State, and it happened that a batch of goods from the Qi State was going back to Jinlou and was on the way with Shang Zeyi. The Ma family is doing a business of selling goods between Qi countries, and they have to borrow the road of Bailu City when they go out and enter, and they owe favors to each other, and the Bailu City Fortress personally enters the caravan, which is a very simple thing.
There is no need for Wang Zhaomo not to come forward in this matter, if he comes forward in person, the goal is too obvious, anyone who can borrow the right face can think that the character is not simple, and then casually calculate, you will know that it is Shang Zeyi. Shang Zeyi took the path of the Warden Division, the position of the chief of the guard, Xu Shutang, was neither high nor low, he had some weight in White Deer City but was not well-known in the world, and it was not enough to pay attention to the news dealers, he wanted people to enter, which could not only make people pay attention to it but not arouse suspicion, which was a better choice than anyone else.
This time he returned to Jinlou Shang Zeyi used the identity of a ranger, this is the pseudonym he used when he was forced to enter the rivers and lakes from Jinlou before, but he didn't expect to use it again when he returned to Jinlou now, which gave him a delusion, it seems that the so-called fate has not disappeared, otherwise how could he go around and come back.
I think that when he first came out of the rivers and lakes, he was unprepared to be forced into the rivers and lakes by Emperor Shang to become bait to help him stir up the world, but he was also fortunate to know Hu Badao and Yao Wang Jiang, these close friends.
It has been some years since then, and the people and events of the past are as vivid as yesterday, he is a little trance, and a little sad, the used pseudonym can come back, but the person can never come back.
He thought of Hu Badao and Yao Shisu, Hu Badao confessed in front of the people of the world on the city wall, the first in the world and Yao Shisu He chose the latter without thinking about it, who said that men are not infatuated, but with Yao Shisu can not even be a living husband and wife, so he can't help but sigh a little bit about the impermanence of fate. It would be great if Hu Badao was still alive, that is a real like-minded confidant, who has led him to grow all the way since he came out of the rivers and lakes, and he is also a teacher and friend to Shang Zeyi.
With Hu Badao's cultivation and temperament, if he hadn't met himself, he would have gone to the rivers and lakes with Yao Shiso Shuangsu Shuangfei Xiaoao. You must know that his realm has already reached the peak of Daozang, and even the qualification of Bai Haichou at the peak of the first battle is drawn from the sword, he has nothing to do with the world, except for the only one person who loves medicine perilla, a person like him is born at ease, if he hadn't met himself and became a friend with him, he didn't have to use the eighth knife that exhausted his heart and soul to prevent Emperor Shang from entering the city.
If he didn't come out of the eighth knife, or to go further, if he didn't get involved in these things of his own, it is estimated that he would have children with Yao Shisu, which is like this, he didn't even leave a corpse, but just collected his clothes and made a tomb of clothes and medicine Shisu, and he could only be a couple of Huangquan.
Every time he thinks of Hu Badao, Shang Zeyi is a little sad, his face is buried in his body, and his body is buried in the dark carriage, like a melancholy nobleman.
He has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he has a romantic energy in his early years, and after several years of precipitation, there are traces of time in his eyes outside the romance, and anyone can see that this man has many stories. Handsome and story-like, as well as a damn melancholy temperament bonus, makes him the kind of person who is most likely to attract little girls.
There happened to be a little girl in the caravan.
The Ma family is a big business family in Jinlou, and they have been rich for several generations since the prince Ma Shupei. The Ma family has always had many sons and no daughters, and having a dragon and no phoenix makes the Ma family always feel that something is missing. Now the Ma family is Ma Gongshu, who loves his daughter very much, and wants to have a pearl of his own, but the bloodline of the Ma family is too powerful, and he gave birth to eight sons in a few rooms, at that time he has been more than 50 years old, and he has no heart to toss again, and when he was discouraged, he met Zhang Longhu, the heavenly master of Wanfa Mansion who traveled to the Golden Building, and the old mage did not know what method he used, but let Ma Gongshu get a daughter and gave birth to a little phoenix Ma Yexue.
For this hard-won little phoenix, the Ma family is very important. Especially Ma Gongshu, who was afraid of falling off in his hand, was afraid of melting in his mouth, and was worried to death when he left home on weekdays, for fear of getting lost, this time he didn't know what was going on, and he agreed to let her follow the caravan to Northern Qi thousands of miles away.
At the age when the horse was in love with the snow at the beginning of the year, he had not finished walking around the Qi country, and at this time, when he saw such a man with such an outstanding demeanor in the caravan, he could see the story of his body at a glance, which was countless times better looking than those men in the family who were full of copper smell and had no depth, and the girl's heart was immediately stirred, and she was instantly attracted by Shang Zeyi.
This person is a caravan that entered halfway, she knows that Lao Wu, the leader of the caravan, had greeted her a few days ago, and it seems that he is a young man named Ranger, who has some relationship with the warden of White Deer City, but that person has been staying in the carriage since he entered the caravan and has never been out of the carriage, so he joined the caravan for several days before Ma Yexue saw his appearance for the first time.
Shang Zeyi and Ma Yexue were in different carriages, taking advantage of the rest time, Ma Yexue got out of his carriage and came to Shang Zeyi's carriage, knocked on the door with a big grin and said, "My name is Ma Yexue, I saw you very good-looking just now, and I want to make friends with you." ”
The Ma family has been in business for generations, and they are all this kind of extroverted temperament in their bones, both men and women love to make friends, they are naturally familiar with people, and they will never be shy and blush, even if Ma Yexue has been hidden in the boudoir for so many years, his natural temperament is still like this.
Shang Zeyi felt funny in the carriage, he didn't see Ma Yexue's appearance, but he listened to the voice at most seventeen, and she was still a little girl who didn't understand anything, and she actually accosted herself.
He comfortingly praised himself for his undiminished charm, he didn't want to deal with this little girl, but he thought that after all, in other people's caravans, it was always not good not to respond, face always had to be given, and the necessary etiquette still had to be done.
"Ranger, it's an honor to meet you. Shang Zeyi opened the car door and went out to report his fake name.
Ma Yexue accidentally saw Shang Zeyi's appearance through the carriage just now, but it was vague, and now that the whole person was in front of her, she saw it completely, which was more beautiful than Fang Cai's glimpse, uninhibited and full of deep meaning, more level than all the men she had seen. Ma Xueye fell in love at first sight, although she was seventeen years old, she was also ignorant and knew this feeling, which was completely different from the feeling of her parents, brothers and friends, like being hit by a deer in the chest, fluttering hard.
"I don't want to be friends with you anymore, I want you to be my husband. The little girl thought of what to say, and immediately changed her tone from being a friend to being a father-in-law, and said a little stupidly, without hindrance.
Her voice was not small, and she was not alone in the caravan, and it happened that Lao Wu, who was the leader of the caravan, was nearby, so she naturally heard Ma Yexue's amazing words.
Lao Wu is in his sixties this year, he followed Ma Gongshu in business when he was a teenager, and he walked for almost fifty years, and fifty years of conscientious work made him from a young man to the chief steward of the Ma family. He is the old man of the Ma family, and Ma Gongshu is the same generation, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has watched Ma Yexue grow up, and he has no heirs and he privately treats Ma Yexue as his own daughter, so he no longer has to do such a laborious thing as going to business, and he also went to Qi in person regardless of the age of sixty, the reason is just to spoil Ma Yexue.
Because Ma Yexue wanted to go to Northern Qi to have a look, he didn't want the little girl to be sad, and he couldn't rest assured that other hairy young men were there, so he personally came to this business.
Otherwise, without him going out in person, do you think Ma Gongshu would rest assured that Ma Yexue would go to a place so far away from Qi Country alone?
Lao Wu's style of doing things is not leaky, and it is precisely because of this that Ma Gongshu will rest assured that Ma Yexue will follow him.
Hearing Ma Yexue say such shocking words, he was frightened both in public and private, and Lao Wu didn't know anything about this mysterious son, lest he follow the pole and deceive Ma Yexue. Accustomed to seeing all kinds of people, Lao Wu is accustomed to using malice to speculate on others, he has seen a lot of such men, relying on a little handsome and clever words to deceive little girls who are not deeply involved in the world, and they are cheating money and sex, which is the most difficult thing for a little girl like Ma Yexue to resist.
Lao Wu was afraid that Ma Yexue would suffer, and he couldn't care about the old arms and legs and stepped between the two of them in three steps and two steps, and interrupted the two without waiting for Shang Zeyi to speak, and arched his hand: "It turns out that this is Gongzi You, the distinguished guest came to the caravan, and he has been saying hello for a few days, and he also invited Haihan." Today's first sight is really famous is not as good as meeting, meeting is better than famous, the old man likes to make friends with young talents, and the son will be the same at first sight, if it is not for the important things of business, I can't wait to be able to drink all night. ”
Lao Wu said boldly, silently blocking the sight of Shang Zeyi and Ma Yexue.
Shang Zeyi could see that Lao Wu was afraid that he would think something wrong about Ma Yexue, so he deliberately came to compliment him and make a difference. He knew that he was misunderstood by Lao Wu as a disciple, but he was not angry, he could understand that the elder protector was anxious, and Lao Wu would do the same if he were him.
Besides, he didn't think about Ma Yexue, a little girl, but he just felt that it was very troublesome. Such a confession simply leaves no way out, so that he can't do anything.
If you directly refuse to say that it will hurt this outspoken little girl, if it is not direct, it will be even worse for her to misunderstand, I don't know how to answer, Lao Wu appeared in time to relieve his siege.
"This should be Steward Wu, who has admired his name for a long time, can he take a step to speak?" Shang Zeyi also bowed his hand in return, and after speaking, he took a few steps forward.
Ma Yexue watched him walk out of a distance, thinking that he hadn't answered himself yet, why did he go away, she was in a hurry to ask for an answer, so she shouted to Shang Zeyi from afar: "Have you promised to be my father-in-law?"
She shouted as loudly as she had just now, and almost the entire caravan heard it.
Lao Wu's face was full of iron, he could see that this matter was completely just Ma Yexue's wishful thinking, no wonder this young man named Ranger Mou. Having said that, he was reluctant to be angry with Ma Yexue, and there was no reason to vent his anger on this mysterious son, so he could only helplessly follow this young man to the side to see if he had anything to say.
On the other side, Ma Yexue should not be able to hear the conversation between the two at this distance, Shang Zeyi stopped, and he said directly to Lao Wu: "Please don't worry about Steward Wu, I have someone in love, and I only have a few days of fate with you at most, and when I get to the Golden Building, I will go to the side, and I will not have anything to do with Miss Ma." ”
Lao Wu knew that the other party was telling the truth, he sighed and said: "I believe what Gongzi You said, it's just that our young lady's temper follows the man of the Ma family, and when she sees the goal, she will get into it until it is achieved, you didn't answer her today, she is estimated to be stalking in the next few days, and I ask Gongzi You to bear with me for some annoying places." ”
"Then I'll refuse her directly, I'm afraid that it will hurt Miss Ma, which is even worse. Shang Zeyi thought that Lao Wu wanted him to directly refuse Ma Yexue, and there was nothing wrong with him doing so, but he was afraid that he would hurt Ma Yexue. After all, at the age of ignorance at the beginning of love, she was cruelly rejected all of a sudden, and it was difficult for a basic little girl to accept.
Lao Wu is also a person from the past, and he knows that this kind of thing can't be done in such a hurry, so he still pays attention to gradual progress, otherwise it will hurt Ma Yexue. Anyway, I don't have a few days to get along, and I can't establish a deep relationship, as long as I get to the two sides of the Golden Building and go my separate ways, I can't see each other again, and Ma Yexue's sudden feelings will slowly fade over time.
He was afraid that Shang Zeyi would misunderstand, so he ran over and directly rejected Ma Yexue, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, You Gongzi has misunderstood, I hope that You Gongzi will not be too enthusiastic about Miss these days, and he will not be too cold, just like a friend." Otherwise, if she refuses all at once, she will definitely not be able to eat for several days with Miss Yi's temperament. ”
Shang Zeyi was a little embarrassed, it was okay if he wasn't too enthusiastic, but he wasn't too cold, did he want to accommodate a little girl. He was the most annoyed by this kind of trouble, but looking at Lao Wu's eyes full of requests, Shang Zeyi couldn't refuse, so he could only agree hard.
At most, I will be a nanny for a few days, and I will grit my teeth and pass.
"Okay, yes, but Steward Wu, you still have to look at your young lady, don't let her do anything too out of line, otherwise even if I can bear it, I can only say that I can't help." Shang Ze recalled.
Lao Wu nodded hurriedly and said: "This is natural, I will watch it on Miss's side, and there are still Lao You Gongzi." The Ma family has a favor to repay the favor, and the Ma family remembers this matter, it is a favor owed to Gongzi You, and if there is anything that can help in the future, he will definitely try his best to help. ”
From here, it can be seen that Lao Wu is thoughtful, obviously asking for help, but between words and deeds, he has a closer relationship with people, and his arrogance makes people unconsciously have a good feeling, even if it is determined that it is only Shang Zeyi, who has just met in a few days, he is also reciprocating the relationship between the two to leave a line, after all, the world is impermanent, and I can't say that this relationship can be used in the future.
The philosophy of the Ma family is to make a lot of friends and a few enemies, and Lao Wu has been immersed in it for more than 50 years and is well versed in it.
Shang Zeyi has a good impression of the old steward of the Ma family, although he has some thoughts in his conversation and demeanor, he is still calm, not to mention deep friendship, but he still does not resist when he helps.
The two of them settled down and returned to the carriage together.
Ma Yexue was still there waiting for an answer, and in Lao Wu's worried gaze, Shang Zeyi said lightly: "Forget about Xianggong, but we can be friends." ”
Such an answer did not give her confidence, nor did it hurt Ma Yexue's heart, and the heat was just right.
Lao Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was originally afraid that Shang Zeyi would not be able to deal with Ma Yexue, after all, it was still a little difficult not to hurt people's hearts and be ruthless. But Shang Zeyi did just right, his words changed Ma Yexue's expectations from a friend to a friend, which was a semi-rejection, but psychologically it was still within Ma Yexue's acceptance range, so as not to make her sad.
Lao Wu was relieved and a little suspicious, this son named Ranger looks like he is at most twenty-five, and he can do things as sophisticated as an old man in his forties, not like a nobody, who is it?
Although he was interested, he didn't want to inquire about the identity of this son. White Deer City has a special status, it is located in the center of Shikoku, and it is a free city without rules, which is why countless people in Shikoku who can't stay in their own country have run to White Deer City. Among them, there are monstrous criminals, epic writers, and peerless masters, but there is one common characteristic, that is, the thinking is strange and incompatible with the world, and it can only be established in the free city of White Deer City.
Any one of them is a person who does not conform to the rules of the world, and it is inevitable that there will be turmoil when he enters the four countries.
was secretly stuffed into their caravan by the warden department, and this son named Ranger should also be such a person. The identity of this kind of person, the less you know, the safer you are for yourself, Lao Wu has been in business for so many years, and there are many such things, and the scale that should be there is still some certainty, never ask what should not be asked, and never think about what should not be thought.
The only thing he can think about now is to return to the Golden Mansion as soon as possible, so that Ma Yexue, a little girl, will break her illusions.
"Miss, the team has been a day slower than the original trip, it's time to leave. Now that Ma Yexue and Shang Zeyi have just made friends, they are still in the ascendant, but Lao Wu doesn't care if he will disturb her Yaxing, and urges her to set off.
Ma Yexue was really a little displeased.
But she still knows the general situation, and she knows that the business cannot be delayed, so she only sneered: "I just rested for a while and was leaving, Grandpa Wu, you are so annoying." ”
He said to Shang Zeyi, "Why don't you come to my carriage?"
The unexpected bold move made Lao Wu cough violently, and Shang Zeyi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It is inconvenient for men and women, besides, my carriage is fine." ”
With that, he got into his carriage.
Since Shang Ze couldn't remember her carriage, Ma Yexue only felt that she had less time to spend with him, and she didn't think much about it, and after Shang Zeyi got into her carriage, she walked to her carriage.
"Grandpa Wu, are you coughing again? Before entering the carriage, Ma Yexue looked at Lao Wu and said with a serious expression.
Lao Wu coughed even more when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "Let's go!"
The next journey began to be a little annoying, Ma Yexue came to pester Shang Zeyi whenever he was free, Lao Wu would probe from time to time to see his situation, and even the other people in the caravan, those young men with strong blood, looked at him not quite right.
It was also from the age of Fang Gang, Shang Zeyi knew what they thought. These young people are all buddies of the Ma family, and they can be selected by Lao Wu to accompany Ma Yexue, and they are definitely one in a hundred, and they are all ambitious. Ma Yexue is the only pearl of the Ma family, as long as she can get her heart, she can soar in the Ma family, although there is little hope, but there is always a thought, although these young men did not say it, they still have a longing in their hearts.
From Jinlou to Northern Qi, and then back to Shangguo from Northern Qi, these young men tried their best to show themselves one by one, hoping to get into the eyes of Ma Yexue. But Ma Yexue didn't look at them at a glance, but it was Shang Zeyi, who suddenly joined, who somehow won the favor of the eldest lady, and asked the eldest lady to say that she wanted him to be a father-in-law, which completely broke their thoughts and made these young men hate him and shake their teeth.
In front of Ma Yexue and Lao Wu, these young men will still pretend that they are not targeted, and when they can't see or hear it, it's a different matter, and they will deliberately start to mock Shang Ze.
By saying something, the little white face of the neighboring village, the embroidered pillow, is useless, in fact, it refers to him who scolds Huai and ridicules.
Shang Zeyi was a little helpless, he was ostracized without doing anything, and it was not good to deal with these young men, what is his identity, what is the identity of these stunned young men, the dignified city lord of Bailu City can't pull the collar to scold these young men who don't even have refining gods or go to Ma Yexue to make a small report.
That's too off-the-job.
He was out of sight, and thought he couldn't hear it, which made these lads convinced that he didn't have the courage to fight back, and wishful thinking confirmed that he was an embroidered pillow, and he didn't stop talking, but instead intensified his speech and made it even more difficult to hear.
Zhang Lin is the small leader of these businessmen, Lao Wu personally brought it out, he has a second-grade realm at a young age, and his cultivation is not low among young people, and he should be able to have a product after a few years of practice, and he may be able to enter the refining god if he works hard, but at that time he was a guest who everyone had to respect.
You must know that refining gods is the dividing line of masters, and only after refining gods can you be qualified to have a name in this rivers and lakes. It's just that refining the gods is sad, although there is only one step between a product and refining the gods, it is like a ravine blocking the road of cultivation, and there is an organic fate to cross the ravine, some people find a way to pass easily, and some people sigh from afar, and they can't turn over this end all their lives.
Zhang Lin has good qualifications, and he learned from the storyteller in the storytelling teahouse that the fourth prince Shang Zeyi has smashed the source, and countless energy invested in the four countries will give birth to a new Junjie, he feels that he may be lucky to get a little bit, and he will be qualified to occupy a name in the world in the future.
He is full of hope and ambition for the future, and at the same time admires the four princes of the source of the smashing. Although he was a native of the Shang Kingdom, he was born young, and when he was born, the Shang Kingdom had already moved towards revival, and he had not experienced those years of suffering, and could not understand the fanaticism of the older generation of Shang people for the old Shang Emperor.
A young man like him is full of romance and challenges, and he admires heroes who are close to his time, such as Bai Haichou, who entered Tongming at the age of thirteen, such as Hu Badao, who confessed to himself in thousands of troops, and Shang Zeyi, who cut off his fate with a knife and brought a new atmosphere to the world.
He admired the hero Shang Zeyi, and felt that daring to act was a masterpiece, so in comparison between the two, he looked down more and more on the little white face named Ranger who secretly hid in the caravan.
What's the matter, it's just that he seduced the eldest lady with a good look, and the guy who doesn't rely on women to eat with his teeth is going to find a chance to beat you back to the prototype. Zhang Lin thought so, so he opened the lock and said more and more scalelessly, he was still insinuating before, but now he almost pointed at Shang Zeyi's nose and scolded.
"The surname is You, if it's a man, I'll go head-to-head, and if you lose, you will consciously leave the caravan, do you dare?" When he was resting, Zhang Lin went to Shang Zeyi's carriage and pulled the car door open, and said to Shang Zeyi politely.
He deliberately slammed the door with a loud bang, and everyone else looked at it in the same way.
During the war, Zhang Lin felt that he was majestic, and the other guys cheered him on, and even Ma Yexue and Lao Wu's eyes were attracted to this side, which made him have the illusion that he was the protagonist in the romance story. Being concerned by everyone, Zhang Lin felt a radiant sense of self-pleasure, compared to the ranger who did not dare to accept the challenge, he felt that he was full of the charm of a man.
Seeing that Shang Zeyi was silent, and so many people were paying attention to him, this time he deliberately did not avoid Ma Yexue and Lao Wu, and continued to urge loudly and ruthlessly: "Dare, it is a man's words." ”
He has now decided that the other party is useless in the head of the silver-like pewter gun, and his tone is becoming more and more ruthless, but if he knows that the ranger he is not polite to now is Shang Zeyi, whom he admires, he doesn't know what kind of expression his face will be.
Shang Zeyi was a little helpless, although he didn't like to care, but he didn't have such a good temper, he had already moved his heart to teach this boy who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky, saving him from squirting feces all over his mouth, but before he could do it, Lao Wu and Ma Yexue had already come.
"What are you doing? I feel that I am invincible in the world, and I want to take my place, right? I have learned to drive people out of my place, are you going to drive me out of the Ma family next?" As soon as the old Wu people arrived, they stared at Zhang Lin with stern eyes, and asked three times.
Zhang Lin was brought out by Lao Wu, and he didn't dare to do what he just said to Lao Wu if he was given a hundred guts, but he was young and good-looking, and he felt that he was radiant one moment, and the next moment he was scolded by Lao Wu so much that he didn't dare to come out, and he still stiffened his neck and refused to bow his head in front of so many people, pursing his mouth like a stubborn teenager.
Zhang Lin was brought out by Lao Wu himself, and he didn't know his character. This kid has talent, but he has an over-urgency to show, which is an advantage and a disadvantage, it takes time to polish, and he can sharpen himself to become a character in the future, but it still seems that there are still shortcomings.
He also wanted to knock Zhang Lin again, and by the way, he also gave Shang Zeyi an explanation, but Shang Zeyi had already put away his lesson and said generously: "It's okay, Brother Zhang Lin was a joke just now, and we didn't take it to heart." ”
When he said this, he seemed to have a big belly, which instantly made Ma Yexue's eyes light up, and her beautiful eyes were full of appreciation.
Ma Yexue's admiring gaze at Shang Zeyi was taken in by Zhang Lin, and he couldn't help but feel jealous, and he stretched out his hand to push Shang Zeyi despite Lao Wu's presence, and said angrily: "Whoever wants you to say good things, I just want to find you to fight alone, I just can't look down on you, how about a little white face." ”
Zhang Lin used his strength in his hands, and at the same time used energy, the purpose was to push Shang Zeyi to the ground, so that Ma Yexue could see his embarrassed ugliness. Who knew that his hand had obviously touched Shang Zeyi, but it was as soft as touching cotton, softly dissolving all his strength, and there was even a suction force that pulled him to kneel on the ground.
Zhang Lin knelt inexplicably, and what he saw in the eyes of others was the same. All they saw was Zhang Lin pushing down Shang Zeyi, who seemed to have an unstable center of gravity, and inexplicably knelt down for Shang Zeyi.
Of course, this is a small trick secretly used by Shang Zeyi, quietly teaching Zhang Lin a lesson. The mud bodhisattva still has three points of earthiness, it is one thing for him Shang Zeyi not to worry about the younger generation, and it is another thing to be scolded by being pointed at his nose, it is still light to let him kneel, if he was young and vigorous, he would have broken one of Zhang Lin's legs.
He is not angry for a while, he can really do such a thing, otherwise you think that Xu Qingyin, the current lame prime minister of Shangguo, was broken by someone.
Shang Zeyi stood in front of Zhang Lin, looked at him condescendingly, and said with a smile: "Why do you bother to make this big gift, just kneel, and if you bow again, you will lose your life." ”
Zhang Lin's face was flushed, he was caught off guard at the moment he just knelt down, and he was about to get up immediately after reacting, but he didn't know what kind of demon magic this little white face had used, which made him feel as if he was being pressed by a hundred catties of boulders, and he couldn't get up no matter how hard he tried.
What frightened him even more was that he suddenly couldn't feel the energy in his body, as if someone had drained all the energy, leaving only an empty shell. No matter how he operated, the heart crystal could not perceive half of the energy, as if he was a waste person without any cultivation.
Zhang Lin was frightened, after all, all the reliance in his life was his talent and cultivation, if his cultivation was abolished, then his life would be over.
He is not stupid, he knows that this is the means used by the man in front of him who he despised originally, although he doesn't know what means he used, but he must have a way to recover.
Zhang Lin wanted to be a little tough and not bow his head, but the knife slashed at his seven inches, so he had to bow his head.
"I lost. Yang Lin lowered his head and said.
To make him admit that he is not as good as the person who made him disdain a few moments ago, it was to slap Yang Lin in the face, he seemed to feel the ridicule of the eyes around him, and they were laughing at him uselessly. His face was flushed, his voice was as soft as a mosquito's chirping, and his head was almost buried in the ground.
The other guys didn't laugh, but they were surprised, why did Yang Lin admit defeat by himself? Isn't he a second-grade master, isn't it as simple as eating to deal with this embroidered pillow of a ranger?
Shang Zeyi didn't care about other people's thoughts, and gave Yang Lin a lesson to dissipate his anger, he withdrew the energy that was pressed on Yang Lin's body, unlocked the energy flow in Yang Lin's body, and said indifferently: "Young people don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the realm of the second grade thinks that they are invincible in the world, and it is a good thing to take a lesson, so you can save yourself from causing trouble for your family master in the future." ”
Yang Lin continued to bury himself and didn't dare to get up, he was afraid that if he came together, he would see Shang Zeyi's smug eyes, see Ma Yexue's disgusted gaze, see Lao Wu's disappointed expression, and see the mocking smiles of the guys who had been together in the past.
In the face of difficulties, some people will make him the driving force, the more frustrated he becomes, the stronger he becomes, and some people will not be able to afford it, Yang Lin obviously belongs to the latter.
Shang Ze recalled that he had a little headache when he looked like this, this kid's mental quality was too poor, and he taught him a casual lesson that made him lose all confidence, he said ruthlessly: "The face is you who put it up and lost it yourself, no wonder others, it doesn't matter if you lose your face, you can earn it back in the future." But if you want to keep burying your head in the soil like this, and even have the courage to face your own shame, you are a real waste, and you are destined to have no success in this life. ”
Shang Zeyi said very seriously, almost shaved Yang Lin's mouth, but some people are not suitable for persuasion, the more this kind of heavy talk, the more effective it is.
Sure enough, Yang Lin slowly raised his head when he heard this, he looked around, his sloppy eyes began to condense the two of them, and then he got up and swore firmly to Shang Zeyi: "I will definitely defeat you." ”
"I'll wait, but I'm going to eat now, and I don't have time to talk to you. After Shang Zeyi finished speaking, he left Yang Lin and walked towards the restaurant alone.
In the past few days, the caravan of the Ma family has arrived at Linjin Road and arrived at a city called Ruian.
The proximity to the road is close to the Golden Building, the Shang Kingdom is like this, and the closer to the Golden Tower of the Wangcheng City is, the more prosperous it becomes, and Ruian is naturally a prosperous city in Linjin Road.
There are a lot of restaurants in the city, but the good and the bad are uneven, the first time you come to the restaurant, you will not be able to find a really delicious restaurant, but the Ma family has been in business for many years and has its own network, and there is also a fixed foothold in Ruian, and the food is delicious and the living is absolutely comfortable.
The Ma family's restaurant in Rui'an Ding is Canghai Building, the second restaurant in Ruian City.
The shopkeeper here has already gotten the news of the acquaintance with the Ma family, and has prepared a few tables of good dishes in the hall waiting for the merchant team.
Without waiting for the others to join Shang Zeyi and take care of himself, he entered the restaurant, and casually found a table to sit down, and Lao Wu and Ma Yexue next to him also sat at this table, and the others were afraid of Lao Wu's majesty and did not dare to share the table with them, so they were all crowded into the other tables.
Yang Lin was the last to come in, he looked at the people at a few tables and was stunned, and then sat down silently on the buddy's table.
The shopkeeper greeted him with good food and drink, Shang Zeyi was not polite, and the chopsticks fell quickly together, flying in different plates.
Lao Wu had something on his mind, only took a few mouthfuls of food, drank a few sips of wine and put down the chopsticks, on the other hand, Ma Yexue, who didn't look like a girl, was holding a big steamed bun and gnawing hard.
After eating for a while, Shang Zeyi was finally full, he exhaled, patted his round belly, looked at Lao Wu and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lao Wu nodded, he thought for a few times and didn't know whether to speak, and hesitated: "I have been in business for so many years and I also know the rules of the road, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, it's good for others and yourself." But today, seeing You Gongzi's method of tossing Yang Lin, it is obvious that he has already refined the gods, such a character should have a name even in White Deer City, but I have never heard of a number one master in the world called Youxia, I can't help but be a little curious, who is You Gongzi?"
Lao Wu's meaning is obvious, that is, the ranger is a pseudonym.
Shang Zeyi knew that Lao Wu was suspicious of his identity, after all, the master of refining gods entered the Golden Building through the Ma family's caravan, and if there was any misconduct, the Ma family would also be implicated. Dedicated to the family, he understands Lao Wu's worries, but his identity is special, and it is impossible to tell Lao Wu, but he said indifferently: "Steward Wu just said a very good thing, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, don't go to the people who shouldn't know, don't go to the bottom of it, it's good for you and me, the rules of the road always have his reason." ”
Lao Wu knew that Shang Zeyi was right, he had been in business for so many years, and in addition to doing things without leakage, he still had extremely heavy rules. This river and lake has its own rules, if you want to run through the rivers and lakes, if you don't have enough strength, you must abide by the rules, because the rules can control a large part of the people.
If you abide by the rules, others will also abide by them, but if you break the rules, others will also break them, and then don't complain that others don't follow the rules with you, this is the tacit understanding of the rivers and lakes.
Lao Wu used to be very well-behaved, but this time he somehow did it, and there was always an intuition in his mind that made him break the rules to explore the true identity of this young man, as if this was more important than anything.
Hearing the other party's rules, Lao Wu already knew his attitude, even if he really wanted to investigate Shang Zeyi, it was not good to continue to force it, so he could only suppress his instigated intuition and say: "What Gongzi You said is extremely true, but I was abrupt." ”
Ma Yexue, who was gnawing on steamed buns over there, stared at the two of them, and the words of the two of them made her listen to the riddle for a long time, and it took her a long time before she reacted and said to Shang Zeyi in surprise: "It turns out that the ranger is not your real name!"
Shang Zeyi nodded generously, put his index finger in front of his lips again, made a boo gesture and said, "This is a secret, only the three of us can know it, you must not pass it on." ”
Ma Yexue subconsciously excluded Lao Wu from being one of the people who knew the secret, and decided that she and Shang Zeyi had their own little secrets, and said excitedly: "This is our little secret, and we promise not to let the third person know." ”
Lao Wu pinched his eyebrows with a headache, just now he was still worried about Shang Zeyi's identity, but now he was only worried about Ma Yexue.
This little girl who has just fallen in love seems to have completely taken love at first sight seriously, and she is not shallow in wishful thinking, although she will be separated in the next few days, but now Lao Wu is not confident that Ma Yexue can really forget this first love as he expected.
