Chapter 344: Ask Yourself

The dancer's single name is a hazy word, and from the time she was trained by the second prince to the present, she can be regarded as a surprising figure in the capital. Even if you are on the side of the powerful, someone can do it left and right.

She had only seen two people before, and she had no interest in meeting him. One is business, and the other is Zhuge Chen, who is sitting next to her at the moment, holding his cheek with one hand, looking at the delicacies on the table and thinking about how to eat.

However, there is also a big difference between the two, Shang Xue is more wary of hazy, and he doesn't want to really get involved in the prince competition for the prince of Dashang. Watching from the sidelines and watching the capital become more and more chaotic is the best policy. But Zhuge Chen directly ignored the haze, and simply didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

In fact, something like flirting and scolding, it doesn't matter if Zhuge Chen does it. It's just that if Zhang Yunya knows all this, Hazy's life will end here. Anyway, she's a dancer after all. Zhang Yunya, a very jealous woman, allows Zhuge Chen to stay with any woman, but those who can't be on the stage themselves, absolutely not.

The word woman is really strange.

Zhuge Chen sighed in his heart, and instead worked on a plate of beef. It's just that it's not the same as what I ate in the Drunken Immortal Residence before, probably because the second prince specially called the cook in the palace to make such a meal for the reunion of old friends.

There was no movement on Zhuge Chen's side, but Wang Daxue's surroundings were very lively. The second prince and Wang Daxue chatted from south to north, and burst into hearty laughter from time to time. As for the other people around the second prince who came with him, they were all like Zhuge Chen, bowing their heads to eat, and only a few were able to interject.

On the other side of Zhuge Chen sat a young man, the other party sneered, and said: "The world is declining, the dignified son, instead of thinking about how to make the people of Dayan live better, he is deliberately making friends with the children of the family to pave the way for his future progress." ”

Zhuge Chen thought it was interesting, so he stopped raising his mouth, turned his head and said to the young man: "Then since you can't get used to it, why do you still appear here?

The young man drank too much, his eyes were already drunk, and his movements were a little sluggish when he even raised his head. When he saw Zhuge Chen's appearance clearly, he opened his mouth and said: "Nonsense, I came here to eat and drink, what does it have to do with his bullshit second prince? Born in a poor family, but there is no way to enter the office, it can only rely on a recipe for boiling. ”

He glanced at Zhuge Chen's snow-white fox fur on the chair, and knew that the handsome young man in front of him must be a rich and noble brother from a family in the capital, and the disdain in his eyes was naturally more: "It's not me who blows, if I can have the same background as you, I must do better than you." It is more appropriate to say 10,000 times. ”

Zhuge Chen looked at the young man who was dressed a little downward, but he didn't pay much attention to it, just stopped chatting. However, this sentence made him interested in continuing to speak.

"So confident?" Zhuge Chen said: "But this son doesn't care what temple is ascending, and the distance of the rivers and lakes is really attractive." ”

"I have always believed that the greatest paradox is that the practitioner is in this world. Why is it that some people are ordinary people all their lives, and those cultivators are able to forge a path of cultivation just because of the talent they brought from their mother's womb and ride away?" the young man said slowly, "If there were no cultivators in this world, wouldn't it be better?" The general trend will not change because of the practitioners, and the course of history will only be gradual and gradual. If all the people in the world are people who are reluctant to practice, then these four kingdoms will be useless. ”

Zhuge Chen asked appropriately: "Why?"

The young man continued, explaining his own truth: "Practitioners always like to tell themselves from the bottom of their hearts that the so-called rules are things that must be broken. However, this world was able to be established and developed to the current situation of the four countries. The people can live and work in peace and contentment, and they can not pray to the gods and the wind and rain can be smooth, and what is inseparable is also the word rule. I don't know how many cultivators like to let their surroundings become disorderly, but anyway, they are high, and even if they are chaotic, they can protect themselves. If the world really gets to such a point of chaos one day, who do you think will benefit from it? Of course, those wicked people who are now shouting and beating everyone on the street, and those who are powerful will not be much worse off than before. Thinking about it this way, only those of us who have no background will have a more difficult life. This is what a practitioner is called, do I have to say that because of their existence, I will be better off? Of course not, and quite the opposite. ”

Zhuge Chen sighed and said in a deep voice: "I see. ”

Nowadays, there are not many people who can think of this, among the three religions, Buddhism pays attention to purifying sentient beings to go to their own lotus world. Taoists are pure and inactive, and they are already very tired of pursuing themselves and related to themselves. As for Confucianism, they like to talk about these topics, and most of them are practitioners. But since you have such an identity, can you make a profit for yourself?

Even the saint chased and intercepted the overlord, and it was only because of the reason that the shemale had a different path, and he was still in the mood to care about the death of the mortal under his feet?

"Of course, I'm just saying that. The young man said softly: "My name is Li Mingzhen, thank you for listening to me so much, if you are not a child of the family, maybe we should really be friends." ”

His originally confused eyes became clearer and clearer, if he didn't change his original intention when there was really a temple ascending in the future, maybe he would really become the "savior" in the hearts of the people. Or maybe he was not understood by the world, and when he was alive, he carried the word traitor, and he was not cleared up until a hundred years after his death.

Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "Why are you so resistant to the powerful? I can't get used to it, but to say that I can't even be a friend, it's too harsh." ”

Li Mingzhen shook his head firmly, he didn't want to talk about the pain, and he didn't even want to mention it.

When Li Mingzhen was still young, although his family was poor, he was happy. He also has a sister who is loved in every way, and although she is not beautiful, she is also slim. In his hometown, the family is like this, and there is only the town's owner's family, and the family is extremely rich.

And unfortunately, the son of the town owner fell in love with Li Mingzhen's sister. Like many stories in this world, Li Mingzhen's sister was soon captured and walked with the townowner's son despite her family's resistance, and was ruthlessly abandoned.

In the end, Li Mingzhen's sister died, because she couldn't stand the strange eyes of others and the depression in her heart.

Since then, Li Mingzhen's parents have become more and more depressed due to the loss of their daughter, and they died after contracting a serious illness. And Li Mingzhen also left his hometown after this and came to the most magnificent capital in the entire Dayan, doing things that he didn't like.

This series of tragic events only happened in a short period of four years, Li Mingzhen's family was ruined, and it is said that the son of the town owner is still alive and well. Not only that, but he also married another wife, and they were a good match, and they were blessed by many people.

What made Li Mingzhen feel the most difficult to let go of was that the son of the town lord mentioned in public his sister who died tragically because he was abandoned, and his face was full of pride. He didn't want to break a person into pieces like he did at that moment. But when he grabbed an axe and broke out the door, he stopped suddenly. For if he had gone like this, he would have been beaten half to death by the evil slaves before he had even entered the gate of the town's son's house.

It wasn't until Li Mingzhen, who rarely calmed down, thought about it that he understood a ruthless fact. As a common man, no matter how angry Li Mingzhen is, he can neither change the facts nor take revenge. put his life into it, I'm afraid that when I get to Huangquan, I won't have the shame to face my parents and sister. Only when he has enough power can he keep his family from dying. But how difficult is this road?

But for the sake of his most beloved sister, he is not afraid. But the reality still gave him a head-on blow, obviously he did a better job, but the higher position was easily taken away by a child of a family. Obviously he is more talented, but the articles he can write have been tampered with and written with other people's names.

Disheartened, he still did not join the crowd, but the original childish idea still changed. In this life, just spend it stiffly, be a fool and daydream. In that world he wants everyone to be equal, and the reality is hierarchical.

Zhuge Chen took a sip of wine and casually put the wine glass on the table. When he saw that the jug in front of him was gone, he stood up and snatched a jug from someone else's hand. The man didn't recognize Zhuge Chen at first, and just wanted to shout who had such courage. Seeing a touch of white, he consciously closed his mouth.

Zhuge Chen smiled lightly, thanked him, sat back in his seat, and said, "Who told you that I am a child of the family, my name is Zhuge Chen, you should have heard of it." ”

He patted his chest and said with a smile: "It's a serious Jianghu person." "Bayi Chinese Network

Of course, Li Mingzhen knew Zhuge Chen's name, but how did he look at the young man in front of him, and in the end, he made a sentence that Zhuge Chen didn't know how to answer: "I don't believe it, unless you can prove yourself." ”

Zhuge Chen helplessly held his forehead and said softly: "I am me, how can this be proved? You should treat the two of us as if we met in Pingshui, and there were drinking friends on the wine table, and we talked freely. At least in the present world, whatever you want to say, no one can stop you. ”

"Sure enough, it's a cultivator's style, and even the second prince doesn't look at it. Li Mingzhen said jokingly.

Zhuge Chen straightened his waist, and then leaned back on the chair lazily as usual, and said in a low voice: "The second prince is a fart." ”

Li Mingzhen laughed when he heard this, which not only attracted the attention of the second prince, made him close his mouth before opening it, but also provoked the guards standing next to him. Everyone here knows in their hearts that the protagonists of this meal are Wang Daxue and Zhuge Chen, and of course, the second prince as the host is also counted among them. Although the rest of the escorts are either rich or noble, or they are extremely famous people in the capital, they still do not have enough status compared to these three. Do your duty, laugh when you should, and be silent and can't even eat and drink.

However, Li Mingzhen came to eat mixed rice, but it was a big mistake to be so conspicuous.

The guard stretched out his hand and pressed it on Li Mingzhen's shoulder, lifted the thin young man from the chair with a force, and immediately lowered his head and said respectfully to the second prince: "Your Royal Highness, what should you do with this person?"

The second prince narrowed his eyes, and after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't know this person, so he said to the person next to him: "Who brought this person? Why didn't you warn him beforehand, didn't you know what he should do at the wine table?"

After a moment, one of them stood up and said, "Your Royal Highness, please don't be angry, this person is a guest of my palace. Today I wanted to take him out to see the world, but I didn't expect to be so unruly. I'll let him get out, and don't even think about entering the door of my house in the future!"

After that, the man stepped forward and asked for a short blade from the guards of the second prince beside him, and was about to stab Li Mingzhen in the thigh, and said viciously: "How clumsy I was to spend money on waste like you! Since you can't spit out the food you eat, use this leg to pay off the debt!"

At this time, the second prince just watched coldly, and said to Wang Daxue beside him: "The heavy snow has disturbed your interest." ”

"Chunyuan, where are you talking about this? They are all their own brothers, so there is no need to be so polite. Wang Daxue said softly, and didn't put Li Mingzhen's leg in his eyes.

In the final analysis, he is also a cold person, and people who have nothing to do with him die when they die. Sympathy, of course, impossible. And it was also the person who was wrong in the first place, and he had no right to interfere with what his master wanted to do. Even if he could, he didn't want to do it.

The moment the short blade fell, the man's arm was grabbed by Zhuge Chen. Zhuge Chen raised his head, looked into the other party's eyes, and said, "Who gave you the right to want someone else's leg?"

"Who are you?" the man asked in a cold voice.

As a result, all he responded to was a slap, Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes, and said, "According to your logic, can I also take your life?" He snatched the short blade and threw it into the air, and caught it with his other hand. The whole process swept over everyone's faces, and fear also surfaced in their hearts.

Many people present didn't know Zhuge Chen, so they naturally didn't know that such an unscrupulous young man would be mixed in at such an important banquet. But his smile made them dare not stop it. As for the guards, because they had seen Zhuge Chen, they didn't dare to stop them.

The person who threatened to abolish Li Mingzhen's leg at the beginning has nothing to do with the overall situation, even if he really dies here, and for his master, the second prince, to get such a help from Zhuge Chen, it is something that anyone knows how to choose.

"Who are you who dare to have such a big mouth?" The man still didn't believe that the short blade in Zhuge Chen's hand could fall: "This is a banquet set up by the second prince himself, if you do this, do you want to go against the second prince?"

Zhuge Chen suddenly laughed: "Although it depends on the owner to beat a dog, but you are such a wild dog that is not even a mad dog, even if I really kill it, nothing will happen, right?"

He turned his head and looked at the second prince, as if he was asking for advice. But he still dropped the short blade in his hand, and the strength was just right, tearing the clothes that the other party was wearing, and leaving a wound that was hideous, but not fatal.

However, during this process, the second prince never spoke.

He just looked at the arrogant figure and was silent, and he even had a suspicion, could the other party really be submissive to him, would it be self-defeating, like his crown brother?

If that were the case, he would have lost even more. Because if Zhuge Chen really dislikes him, maybe even Wang Daxue won't care about his previous feelings. In the final analysis, it was a childhood friendship, and he couldn't count it, and he was able to be so enthusiastic when he saw him, and the second prince was quite surprised.

Few people can be friends for life.

"My name is Zhuge Chen, tell me, do I dare or not?" Zhuge Chen's voice echoed in this drunken immortal residence.

Only then did everyone present understand who was the protagonist of this banquet. Of course, they didn't know that the white clothes would be worshiped by the imperial court, but it was not enough to be able to overpower business studies?

And Li Mingzhen's heart, which was suppressed because of the entanglement of the past, couldn't help but shout at this moment and did a good job. It turns out that cultivators not only like to stand on a high place and look at the world with cold eyes, but also like to walk in the world, and even their breath is full of fireworks.

Li Mingzhen was not grateful for Zhuge Chen's rescue of him, and felt excited that there was a cultivator in the world who could listen carefully to what the nobody said. What's more, the cultivator standing in front of him will definitely climb to the top of those mountains in the future.

Zhuge Chen smiled contemptuously and said to the man: "I won't kill you, do you know why?

Immediately, he looked at the second prince again, and said to him: "I didn't hold back for a while, I'm sorry for His Royal Highness the prince." ”

Although there was no sincerity, the second prince still nodded and said that it was okay.

"Wang Daxue, you come out for Lao Tzu. Zhuge Chen's voice of gritting his teeth came into the ears of Wang Daxue, who was drinking, and he didn't know what was going on, but he still put down the wine glass and obediently walked out of the drunken immortal residence with Zhuge Chen.

"Wang Daxue, you can really do it, I used to know that you have a cold temperament, but I really didn't expect that like those powerful people who think very highly of themselves, they like to watch the death of a person who shouldn't have died. Zhuge Chen said softly: "The head of the family once told me that when he walked the rivers and lakes, the most despicable thing was that those landlords and gentry bullied the people. How did it get to you, everything was so natural?"

Wang Daxue just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhuge Chen: "I don't want to listen to what you say now, ask yourself, are you doing the right thing?"
