Chapter 53: Pine Tip Snow Cold

The sonorous iron armor of the city defense army gradually disappeared at the end of the street, leaving a confused crowd of onlookers, who wanted to watch a good show of the officials and the sergeant working together to arrest the murderer, but unexpectedly, a woman who did not know the reason for the reason made a conclusion on the matter in three or two sentences, and the city defense army escorted the people who were extremely guilty in the eyes of everyone to swagger to the general's mansion to set up a banquet.

The whispering of the crowd reached the ears of the chubby man like slowly boiling water, and he should be the most embarrassing person in the room. The anger of being ignored and humiliated slowly subsided, and he regained some of his senses. He patted the top of his head with his round fat hand, the identities of the three of them just now were either friends with the Chen brothers and sisters, or prominent people were unwilling to reveal their identities. Thinking of the scolding and scolding of the three of them just now, and the fact that his subordinates were going to draw knives against the three of them, thinking of the fat man here, he felt that the three catties of meat on his body had turned into cold sweat and flowed away.

The official who went to clean up the scene carried three corpses covered with white cloths and left, and the tall thin man in the costume of catching fast attached himself to the man's ear and whispered: "My lord has checked, the deceased are all martial cultivators, and the short man is not a child, but a dwarf." Let's not talk about whether what Miss Chen just said is true, it was these three people who tried to assassinate them before they failed and were counter-killed. Just saying that this battle between the warriors did not involve ordinary people, it is not for us to intervene. The tall and thin man spoke in a respectful tone, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, "Fortunately, Lao Tzu has already found out, otherwise listen to your mother and those three people, and you can't beat it, if you offend some big person, how many fucking brothers will you fucking kill." ”

I don't know that the chubby man who was scolded in the other party's heart for the eighteenth generation of his ancestors took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, glanced sideways and gratefully at the tall and thin catcher next to him, and there was some joy and fear in his eyes for the rest of his life, "Lao Yang, fortunately, you didn't draw a knife just now." The man's words were not finished, he was unwilling to bow his own value, and sincerely thanked a fast catcher who he despised at all, a martial artist, and a reckless man, how could a martial artist not work under him. There are so many warriors in the world, and not all of them are under the orders of today's Son of Heaven. The world will always be the world of those who are their officials. The man thought so, the previous cowardice and embarrassment were swept away, and he thought as he walked, how to go to the side to knock on the identities of these three people, if it was really a big man, he should make amends, if he could not fight with the other party, wouldn't it be beautiful? The man hummed a small tune from his hometown as he walked.

Chen Chuhe, who had already changed into court clothes, stood outside the gate of the General's Mansion and waited, as a city guard, he might not have the opportunity to wear this dress in his life unless he went to Beijing to report on his work, and his official rank was obviously not enough to kneel in the main hall of Ziwei Palace.

Chen Chuhe still doesn't know what his sister means, he watched the City God Temple on the drum tower for a long time, but he didn't see Chen Chuhan and Yun Xuelan have any conversation, so he knew that the two had a conversation with Xinhu, but his mind was not as meticulous as his sister, if he reacted, only martial artists above the middle martial realm could talk in this way, and he would definitely be as surprised as his sister. This young owner of Yunyin Mountain Villa was still a waste of cultivation a few months ago, and he returned to the Zhongwu Realm in just three months.

Chen Chuhe saw the young man in red who was following his sister, and was about to step forward and kneel on one knee, but was stopped by a look from Chen Chuhan. ”

General Chen was serious. Yun Xuelan waved her hand and swept her gaze across the field, Chen Chuhe only brought an entourage, and this person was bowing his head with a humble gesture. The young man's gaze did not linger on this person, but looked up at the drum tower that exposed the corner of the mansion.

Yun Xuelan, who was dressed in red, and Chen Chuhan, who was dressed in a green shirt, sat opposite each other, a pot of tea was placed on the table, and a few pine needles floated in the young man's cup, and the tips of the needles were extremely white, as if they had infected the green pine after falling snow. Yun Xuelan stared at the tea cup on the table, as if she was looking at a picture of pine waves and falling snow.

Rin Tan stood quietly behind Yun Xuelan without saying a word, and the cold air emanating from his body was still in line with the situation.

Outside the door, Chen Chuhe became the guard of the door, he leaned against the pillar of the porch and closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. The attendant beside him kept his eyes on the closed door.

"Yun Gongzi, it will be cold when you look at the tea again. It seems that he can't stand this silence and depression, and it seems that he feels that the general's mansion where he is sitting has some confidence, and Chen Chuhan took the lead.

Yun Xuelan didn't reply, nor did she pick up the teacup, "The mountains and rivers of the old country are here, but people have gone to tea and cool." The boy said, touching the tea soup with his fingertips and wiping it lightly on the table.

"This pine tip snow is the famous tea of Chu in the past, the annual output is only six catties, if the emperor of Chu will reward a few dollars of tea to the courtiers, it is a great honor for the person who is rewarded. The beauty of this tea is that it is drunk when it is extremely hot, and there is no boiling soup after the entrance, but it is like the entrance of an ice spring, which is especially effective for the symptoms of liver and spleen dryness. Between the words, Chen Chuhan's fingers flicked the table.

"Your Western Chu royal family is a country that is too popular with literati and has too much thought to spend on these vassal and elegant things. Yun Xuelan said lightly. The shoulders of the woman opposite and the man standing outside the door trembled at the same time.

Yun Xuelan raised her head, but there was no apology in her smile, "Xichu has died in the country, is it possible that your brother and sister still have the heart to restore the country?" Yun Xuelan flicked his fingers, the water in the teacup splashed on the table, and the young man's fingertips gently roamed on the table.

Chen Chuhan looked directly at the young man, her eyes no longer retreated, but her eyes burned with burning heat, she nodded vigorously, as if every point could recover the old mountains and rivers of Chudi.

Yun Xuelan smiled slightly, with a mocking face, "Chu Han, Chu He." The bones of the Great Chu Heroes are not cold, just waiting for you to recover the rivers and mountains?" Seeing the woman's gloomy face, Yun Xuelan continued: "It's a pity that the Great Xia in the past made the Chu army cold, and the remnants of the royal family now will only make the remnants of Western Chu even more cold. Chu RiverChu River, Chu River, where is your West Chu Mountains and Rivers? Chu is cold, Chu people have long been cold. Your brother and sister have really good names. ”

Seeing the murderous intent and anger that was about to erupt in the girl's eyes, Yun Xuelan still said lightly: "Why should Miss Chen be angry, drink the pine snow in this lamp, and go to the heat of your liver and spleen, so that we can talk about business." ”

Chen Chuhan stared at Yun Xuelan deadly, his chest rising and falling, but the anger in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"That's right, to do business is to talk calmly, both buyers and sellers are satisfied. ”

"What does Yun Gongzi want to talk about?" Chen Chuhan's tone became calm again.

Miss Chen laughed, it was Miss Chen who wanted to talk to Zai Xia about business first. ”

"You ......" Chen Chuhan was shocked that since she talked to the person in front of her, her mood had been controlled by the teenager. It seems that from beginning to end, she was led by Yun Xuelan's nose. Chen Chuhan, who had never been so passive, was afraid and angry in her heart, whenever she thought that she could see the young man clearly and understand the depth of the other party, the next deep well would appear in front of her, and in a trance, the woman wondered if the young man in front of her was an old monster who turned around and now opened his mind.

Seeing the woman's strange eyes looking at her, Yun Xuelan touched her face and asked, "Could it be that there is something on the lower face, or is it the beauty that the girl is obsessed with?" Could it be that what Miss Chen wants to talk about is marriage? Shouldn't this be Brother Ling talking to me?" ”

Chen Chuhe, who was standing outside the door, heard this, and muttered in his heart, no wonder his sister said that she wanted to gamble a big game, and she had to use herself as a bargaining chip. But although Han'er is also very good-looking, how many years older is this age, I am afraid that there is not much hope of being a wife, but if it is a concubine, will it be too wronged?

"Why do you want to make fun of me?" Chen Chuhan resisted the urge not to stab the person in front of him with a sword and said: "Since Gongzi Yun is willing to sit down with my brother and sister, he must have a plan in his heart, and Childe might as well talk about his plans." ”

Yun Xuelan sneered, the woman in front of her was so competitive, she was unwilling to fall behind her several times, and she really thought that if she was doing business and talking about business, who would be the first to take the initiative and take the initiative?

Thinking of this, Yun Xuelan said with a smile: "First, I want you to hide the list of martial artists in Xichu, and one person is indispensable from the lower martial realm to the upper martial realm. Rest assured, I will not move these people, and they are still in your own hands, and second, your brother and sister need to continue to obey the command of the person who wrote the letter, and only need to secretly copy a copy of all kinds of secret letters, and I will arrange for someone to contact you. In the future, your brother and sister and the remnants of Western Chu in your hands need to be dispatched by me once, regardless of life and death; ”

It seemed that he didn't expect the young man to make such a request, Chen Chuhan looked at the young man with a gloomy face, as if he was waiting for the other party to clap his hands and say, "It was all a joke just now, now let's talk about it." ”

Chen Chuhe, who was leaning against the pillars, almost sat down when he heard the words coming from the house. It's just that the entourage beside him has a sharp glint in their eyes.

"What's the matter? Miss Chen asked me to tell me what I thought, but now what about Miss Chen?"

"Yun Gongzi has such a big appetite and great ambition. Chen Chuhan's tone was cold.

"The appetite is indeed good, but this ambition can't be talked about, please Miss Chen don't speculate. Yun Xuelan's hand slid lightly on the table.

"Then what is Yun Gongzi going to use to make this deal with my brother and sister?" the woman squinted at the young man.

"Then what are the conditions for the other one, Miss Chen might as well tell me?" Yun Xuelan picked up the teacup, but put it down lightly, picked up the teapot and made up for the part that had been removed before.

"Why should Miss Chen pretend to be stupid? Didn't someone find Miss Chen and Brother Ling to negotiate a deal first, and your brother and sister felt that they could also talk to me, whether they negotiated or not, they could increase their worth on the terms offered by the two families, and they would have more bargaining chips with the two families. In this case, the girl might as well say directly, the conditions offered to the person who wrote the letter to you, see if you are willing to increase the price. ”

"They can help me restore the country. Chen Chuhan said word by word, as if every word was loud, which made the hope of the revival of Great Chu firmer.

"Miss Chen is such a smart person, if this kind of painting cakes to satisfy hunger deceives young children, the girl also believes it?"

Chen Chuhan took a sip of tea and clicked his fingers on the table, "Why don't you believe it?"

"In that case, why does Miss Chen need to look for her? Before I came to your mansion, I said that if I really did business with the girl, it would be my Yun Xuelan alone, and it had nothing to do with Yunyin Villa. Presumably, the girl and Brother Ling have also heard some rumors, my position in the villa is precarious, I wanted to rely on the surviving Western Chu warrior forces in the hands of your brother and sister to fight for my own future, but I don't want your brother and sister to have already chosen a good wood, so why bother to play it?"

"Yun Gongzi used to ridicule me as a vassal of the Great Chu royal family, and when I know that my Chu royal family is good at fun, I don't hide it from Gongzi, and we have cultivated a group of dead soldiers, all of whom are qin cultivators. If Yun Gongzi can pass this method on to these dead soldiers, we will have nearly 100 dead soldiers who can kill people across the border, and the chances of recovering the country will be greater. ”

"Whether it's me Yun Xuelan or Yun Yin Mountain Villa, they won't help you restore the country of Western Chu. Yun Xuelan's big sleeves wiped on the table, stood up and said, "Buying and selling is not benevolent, since Miss Chen and Brother Ling have always felt guilty about my two attacks and killings, in order to make your brother and sister feel at ease, why don't you give me a hundred catties of pine and sharp snow as compensation?" Yun Xuelan looked at Chen Chuhan with a bright smile, as if she was begging for a hundred catties of cabbage with the other party.

Chen Chuhan, who was still congested by Yun Xuelan's unsparing refusal just now, almost fell headlong when he heard the young man's words. The young man's warm smile looked like an abominable demon in her eyes.

"Yun Gongzi, when this pine tip snow is straw and grain bran? Don't say 100 catties, I am afraid that the surviving pine tip snow is less than 30 catties. I only have less than twelve catties left in my hand, and I can give my son five catties as reparation, and I hope that Yunyin Villa and Zhifu City will be safe in the future. ”

"Five catties? five catties is too little. I've always drunk tea as if I were drinking. Otherwise, you will give me twelve catties, and you will not be able to entertain others if you keep this tea, and it is better to make the best use of the pearl when it is dusty. Yun Xuelan changed her previous solemnity and seriousness, like an unreasonable scoundrel.

"Six pounds. ”

"Eleven pounds. ”

"Eight pounds. ”

"Ten and a half pounds. ”

"Nine pounds. ”

"Wrap it up for me. In addition, I'm afraid there are still a few pairs of eyes staring at us inside and outside your General's Mansion and Zhifu City. I'm about to go to Liyangzhou, to someone else's territory, and this tail is not easy to cut, so I asked the girl to help me get out. ”

Half an hour later, the four carriages slowly drove out of the mansion of the city defense army, and there was an isolation formation outside the four carriages, and the warriors below the upper martial realm could not spy on the scene in the car. In front of the four cars, the people driving were all Rin Tan dressed in black.

Four horse-drawn carriages drove out of the west gate of Qifu City one after another, one went west from the official road, one went south to the Nanhai Wharf, one seemed to go north around the mountain, and the last one went to the southwest village.

Chen Chuhe and Chen Chuhan, the brother and sister, who saw the four cars leaving the house, were about to turn around and go back to the house, when the entourage who had been following Chen Chuhe suddenly asked, "Did you do what I said?"

"Didn't you hear it all outside?" Chen Chuhan's face was frosty, and his voice was full of disgust.

"I promised to help you restore the country, and I will naturally do it, don't think about other things, thinking about finding other life-saving straws. ”

Seeing that the woman no longer replied, the man who looked like a follower raised his head and said to himself: "Three doppelganger talismans, this Yun Shaozhuang master is really generous." What car are they in?"

"The one on the official road. Chen Chuhan replied.

"I will personally lead people to intercept and kill, and when I come back, I will discuss the restoration of the country with your brother and sister in detail. A death order was issued above, not to let this son enter Liyang Prefecture alive, and to get back the lost prisoner cow seal. With that, the shadow disappeared on the spot.

The brother and sister returned to the room where they had discussed with Yun Xuelan without saying a word. Chen Chuhe closed the door and sighed, "I thought you had made up your mind to cooperate with the Yun family. But you still chose them. If Yun Shizi doesn't die, what should you do if you know that you have been calculating against him?"

The woman looked down at the dried-out water on the table.

"Do you really think that they will help us restore the country of Da Chu? Han'er, don't be foolish and dream, you and I both know that Da Chu is dead and can't go back. Why do you cling to your parents' last words when they were dying?" Chen Chuhe wanted to say anything more, but the sister in front of him still lowered his head and looked at the desktop, he followed his sister's line of sight, but the tea cup used by Yun Xuelan was placed on the clean table.

The woman had already answered her brother's question in her heart, "How can I not know that there is no hope for the restoration of the Great Chu?" The reason why I did this is that I hope that our brother and sister and the remnants of the Great Chu can live in peace in the future, and our Chen family has been living for the Great Chu and the people of the Great Chu all our lives. I hope that you and my brother and sister can live for themselves in this life. I can only hide it from you if I hide it from you. ”
