Chapter 26 Ambition in the Rivers and Lakes
The third floor of the Moye Pagoda.
Ye Weiyang lay on the recliner, stroked his forehead with one hand, and closed his eyes to rest. Jiang Caiqing sat at the table and looked at him. Lao Tian and Ran Bizhi stood in a row opposite Jiang Caiqing, both silent, the two of them looked at each other, and they both knew in their hearts: The hall master is angry!
The expression of the hall master will always be only one ~ indifferent. He was neither happy nor worried, even if any of his subordinates offended him, he was not angry, but just solved it with a faint word. In the whole world, the only person who can make the hall master angry is the lord. Lao Tian and Ran Biyi looked at Ye Weiyang together, and they were both nervous about him.
Ye Weiyang suddenly opened his eyes, saw Jiang Caiqing looking at him all the time, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, I'm not a woman, what are you doing staring at me like this?"
Jiang Caiqing had a cold face and did not speak.
Ye Weiyang looked at Lao Tian again, "On the sixth day, go get me a bowl of sobering soup." "Lao Tian's nickname is Liuri, and Ye Weiyang has always called him that.
Lao Tian lowered his head and answered, "Yes!", and before he left, he heard Jiang Caiqing say coldly: "Pour cold water and wake up faster!"
Lao Tian stood on the spot, looked at Jiang Caiqing, and then looked at Ye Weiyang, with a look of embarrassment.
Ye Weiyang suddenly shouted: "Must, get cold water!"
Ran Biyi looked at him with a stunned face. Lao Tian tugged at his sleeve and motioned him to fetch water with his eyes, and Ran Bizhi had to follow the order and turn around and go to the back room.
Only a moment later, Ran Bizhi brought water. Ye Weiyang looked at the bowl in Ran Bizhi's hand and said with a smile: "Bizhi, you are so humorous." I asked you to draw cold water, so that you could sober up the wine, not rinse your mouth. Ran Bizhi smiled awkwardly, turned around, and saw Lao Tian carrying a bucket of water, and was very grateful.
Lao Tian brought the water to Ye Weiyang's side, suddenly raised the bucket and splashed all the water on Ye Weiyang's body, and then carried the empty bucket to the back room in Ran Bizhi's shock.
Ye Weiyang wiped the water from his face with his hand, and sighed: "It's still six days ruthless!" He looked at Jiang Caiqing, who was slightly moved, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, you are still doing it, pouring cold water to sober up is really faster than drinking sobering soup." ”
Jiang Cai looked at him speechlessly. Knowing that it was just his momentary anger, he really let people splash himself with buckets of water, didn't he embarrass himself?
Ye Weiyang smiled again: "I met my opponent today, that kid has a good amount of alcohol, unexpectedly, but between him and me, what is even more unexpected is that Shang Yuluo and a female streamer are also a drunkard, I really underestimate her." ”
Jiang Caiqing snorted coldly, "If you want to die, just say it, wouldn't it be faster to get drunk than you to die by receiving my palm!" When Ran Bizhi helped Ye Weiyang upstairs, Jiang Caiqing thought that he was injured, and hurriedly took him from Ran Bizhi's hand to heal him, but when he smelled the pungent smell of wine on his body, his face sank, and he suddenly pushed him away, and ignored it again.
Ye Weiyang smiled: "Xiaobai, I heard it, what this sentence means, if one day I am desperate for life, I don't need to take poison or hang myself, I will come to you directly, right?"
Ye Weiyang knew that Jiang Caiqing was caring about him, but he still said this, which made Jiang Caiqing even more angry. With a wave of his sleeves, he got up and walked to the window, ignoring Ye Weiyang.
Ye Weiyang moved his body and said to himself: "Xiaobai is angry, the big thing is not good, if you want to please you, you need to get down to business." He looked at Lao Tian.
Lao Tian understood what he meant, and stepped forward and handed him a booklet, "The list of all the participants in the Mo Evil Conference is inside. ”
Ye Weiyang opened the booklet, but he didn't look at it, just touched each name with his hand. When he reached the eighth name, his hand stopped and said: "Yun Yan, the fourth son of the Jiangnan hero Yun Mufeng, is good at using the long sword, and is a great opponent on the sixth day, kill!"
"Kill only one?" Lao Tian asked when he saw that Ye Weiyang didn't continue to touch it.
Ye Weiyang said: "Those who we don't know about strength can only stay and restrain each other." ”
Lao Tian was curious: "Why only kill this person?"
A cold light flashed in the corner of Ye Weiyang's eyes, "Because this person should be killed! As the son of a hero, how can a dignified guy compete with you on the same stage! He has a lot of tricks, I'm afraid you will be unable to guard against it and lose the opportunity to seize the treasure." ”
There was no longer any doubt, Lao Tian picked up his sword and was about to leave, but Ye Weiyang suddenly said: "This person can just let him kill him." ”
Ran Bizhi and Lao Tian were both stunned, "Why?" Although they are both killers, they are different in nature, one is an open killing, the other is an assassination, and letting Ran Bizhi kill is equivalent to an open killing, wouldn't this expose the confusion?
Ye Weiyang stroked his forehead: "Because you will stay and take care of me on the sixth day." ”
Ran Bizhi and Lao Tian looked at each other, the lord would never make such an unreasonable request, why is this?
Ye Weiyang smiled bitterly: "I seem to have a cold." With that, he sneezed again.
As soon as Shang Yuluo left the city, she noticed that someone was following her, and when she turned around, she was surprised to see that it was Jiang Moning.
"Sister, if you had to choose between the two, who would you choose?" Jiang Moning asked straight to the point.
Shang Yu said, "Which two?"
Jiang Mo Ning stared at Shang Yuluo's face and said, "It's your so-called big thing and me, who do you choose?"
"Why did you want me to choose?"
Jiang Yuning did not speak. Shang Yuluo slowly walked towards her and said, "I know what you're thinking, I said that when the rivers and lakes are safe, it is when I retreat, and everything I do is working hard for this." This is my mission, you can not help me, but you cannot stop me. And I'm not running around for this every day, and when I stop, I'll be with you. So, the choice is yours, not mine. ”
Jiang Moning looked at her in a daze and didn't speak. Shang Yuluo said again: "You can choose to fight side by side with me, or you can choose to leave me, whether you go or stay, it's up to you." ”
Jiang Moning suddenly smiled and said, "Sister, if I betray you one day, will you hate me?"
Shang Yuluo smiled indifferently, "No." There is a reason for betrayal, and if you really do it one day, it must be that I have hurt you deeply, so it is you who should be hated, not me. ”
"Then, sister, I will follow you until the day you forsake me. Jiang Moning showed a sincere smile.
Shang Yuluo looked at her smiling face and felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it. Seeing that it was already dark, she was about to return to the hut, but Jiang Moning stopped her. "Sister, let's go to the city! I'm not used to living in a hut. ”
Shang Yuluo looked at her a little strangely. Mo Ning is not the kind of pampered woman, she has been walking with her in the past year, and she has also lived a lot of days of eating and sleeping in the open, how can she say this at this time?
Jiang Mo Ning pushed Shang Yu in the direction of Suzhou City, and said: "Oh, the city is more lively, let's go to the night market." Besides, aren't you running errands in the city, so you don't have to run back and forth. Shang Yuluo only thought so, and the two returned to the city together.
The night market in Suzhou City is really beautiful. Jiang Mo Ning seemed to have really forgotten everything that had happened in the morning, and excitedly pulled Shang Yuluo to run from various stalls. The two saw that a stall in front of them was full of people, and they were curious, so they squeezed in, but saw that all the lanterns were placed on the stall.
Jiang Moning was even more curious, and couldn't help but ask the people around him: "What's so beautiful about the lantern?"
The man said, "There is a treasure in this lantern." As long as you spend ten taels of silver to buy a lantern, and then guess the riddle inside the lantern correctly, you can get the treasure inside. ”
"What if you guess wrong or can't guess?"
"Then you will spend ten taels of silver in vain. ”
"Interesting. Shang Yuluo, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly spoke, "I'll try." ”
Jiang Mo Ning was afraid of being fooled, and persuaded: "Sister, stop playing, even if you guess correctly, the treasures inside may not exceed ten taels of silver!"
Shang Yu said: "Treasures are not important, but lantern riddles are what interest me." After saying that, she took out ten taels of silver and threw them on the table.
The stall owner motioned for her to choose a lantern, and Shang Yuluo's bright eyes swept through each lantern, and then pressed the middle one with his hand.
The stall owner turned on the lantern, pulled out a piece of paper from it, and read it aloud: "Love one day, hate one year, one year is better than one day, why love is better than hate;
When Shang Yuluo heard these two sentences, his heart suddenly shook, as if he had heard it somewhere?
At that moment she heard a long sigh from outside the crowd, a deep and unfathomable sigh, like a haggard infatuation, a sigh of a man waiting under the window of his beloved, who was unaware.
This sigh made Shang Yuluo feel inexplicable fear, she squeezed out of the crowd, trying to find the person who sighed, but only saw the back of a man who had just turned around, a man dressed in white and carrying his hands behind his back. Shang Yuluo didn't think much about it and followed behind him, but before he could take a few steps, the figure flashed, and the man in white was gone. Shang Yu was stunned in place, and was secretly shocked in his heart: This body method is too fast!
"Girl!" It wasn't until she heard someone around her calling her that Shang Yuluo came back to her senses.
"Uncle, is that you?" the person who called her turned out to be the old man she entrusted with delivering porridge in the morning.
The old man looked sad and asked, "My Ah Feng sent porridge to your friend in the morning, I don't know if it was delivered?"
"Ah Feng?" Shang Yuluo was a little surprised, "Didn't you send it?"
The old man felt a little guilty and said, "I couldn't get out of the morning, so I asked my son to send it." ”
Shang Yuluo was faintly uneasy in his heart, and asked, "He hasn't come back?"
The old man nodded.
Shang Yuluo pondered, and she understood where her uneasiness came from. Mo Ning was injured and a woman, and if a small person entered the hut, it would definitely be extremely unfavorable to her. In the morning, she thought about this problem, so she asked the loyal old man to deliver the porridge in person. But she didn't expect the old man to let his son go, I don't know what kind of person this Ah Feng is, if he is a small person, then Mo Ning is not...
Thinking of the questions Jiang Mo Ning asked her in the forest and some of her actions of not letting her go back to the hut, the more Shang Yuluo thought about it, the more frightened she became: Mo Ning must have seen Ah Feng, what happened between them?
"Sister. How did you get here? Jiang Yuning's voice woke up Shang Yuluo. She said to the old man, "You go back first." Ah Feng is fine, you can see him tomorrow. ”
The old man looked at her suspiciously, and wanted to say something more, but Shang Yuluo had already turned around and walked towards Jiang Moning. He sighed and slipped into the crowd.
"Sister, who is he?" Jiang Mo Ning saw her talking to the old man from a distance and asked.
Shang Yuluo said: "An old man who is lost." She paused, then tentatively said, "Mo Ning, I have something left in the hut, let's go back and get it." ”
Jiang Moning's face changed, and he smiled forcefully: "It's so dark, what did you fall on, let's buy another one at this stall!"
Shang Yuluo saw her expression in her eyes, and was completely sure that the hut must have a secret, so she pretended not to care, and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway." Let's go back to the inn!"
The two of them took a few steps forward, and Shang Yuluo suddenly stopped and said, "I remember, this is the secret language of the Heavenly Demon Sect's Mystery Trace Pavilion. She was secretly frightened and didn't notice that a man in white behind her was looking at them with an indifferent expression.
This person is Jiang Caiqing, he is behind him with one hand and a few strings of sugar gourds in the other.
"Love one day, hate one year, win one day a year, how can love better than hate, pain for three days, laugh for three years, three years for three wins, why is it painful to lead?" he muttered and repeated this sentence, saying to himself: "Persistence, is there really something wrong? Ning Qiuyuan, have you ever regretted it? Ancestor, what is your heart thinking?"
Sighing secretly, he glanced at the sugar gourd in his hand, his face showed a look of disdain, this kind of child's plaything, Weiyang actually took it as a treasure.
This sugar gourd was bought by Ye Weiyang when Jiang Caiqing was forced to buy it. He relied on his cold, didn't take this hall master in his eyes, and shouted at him: "Xiaobai, I want to eat sugar gourd, go buy it quickly!" Jiang Caiqing seemed to be still angry, snorted coldly, and ignored him.
Lao Tian, who was squatting on the ground and beating his legs, glanced at Jiang Caiqing secretly and said, "Lord, I'll buy it for you." ”
Ye Weiyang said, "Who will serve me when you go out," he looked at Jiang Caiqing, "Could it be that I still expect Xiaobai to help me beat my legs?"
Jiang Caiqing turned around and said coldly: "If you are not afraid of a crippled leg, I can try!"
Ye Weiyang laughed: "You are so ruthless, it seems that I have to use a killer weapon." On the sixth day, go and cut down the statue of the goddess of Mo on the second floor!"
Lao Tian was stunned for a moment, what kind of killer is this! But seeing Jiang Caiqing suddenly turned to look at her, he coldly spit out two words: "You dare!" At this moment, Lao Tian felt that the aura around him had undergone a wonderful change, and the originally peaceful and peaceful third floor suddenly surrounded by a solemn aura. At this glance, he was terrified, and his hand that was still massaging trembled slightly.
Sensing his fear, Ye Weiyang glanced at Lao Tian and smiled at Jiang Caiqing: "She doesn't dare, I dare." ”
Jiang Caiqing stared at his face for a long time, then waved his sleeves and went downstairs without saying a word.
Lao Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lord, did the hall master want to kill me just now?"
Ye Weiyang said: "Don't worry, as long as I don't want to kill you, he will never touch a single hair of you." ”
Lao Tian smiled, "Then, lord, why do you have to let the hall master buy sugar gourds?"
Ye Weiyang didn't answer, but asked an inconspicuous question: "Sixth, what kind of man do you like?"
