Chapter 190: Decision
() 1.
With Liu Wufeng's character, he will never call me a mother.
Even if he did, I wouldn't say yes.
But the angry Liu Wufeng said something that made me have to give in to him, he said: "You owe me money, when will you pay it back?"
I just remembered that in order to help me rescue Xiaoyue, he bribed the caretaker with 500 taels of silver out of his own pocket. He once told me that the money would have to be repaid later.
Actually, it's easy to pay back. but five hundred taels of silver. On that day, I came down from Snakehead Mountain and took with me a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, enough to return to Liu Wufeng dozens of times.
However, it was not as simple as I would give him a sum of money. Because, in this, there is also a kindness that he took the risk to help me back then.
I said against my will, I lost. But Liu Wufeng's face did not show satisfaction or joy, he was still as plain as water, without waves. After a while of eating leftovers, perhaps he felt full, or perhaps the scraps in the plate were not enough to satisfy his appetite. He skillfully broke the chopsticks in two, picked his teeth with burrs, and asked, "Where is your mother-in-law?"
I knew that sooner or later I would have to face Liu Wufeng's question. But he couldn't stop it, so he had to endure his grief and say it to Liu Wufeng again.
When a person is faced with grief that they don't want to face, they tend to close themselves off. I understand more and more the choices of those people because I am enduring the pain of having my scars uncovered again and again.
Liu Wufeng let out a rare sigh, which made me inexplicably grateful. He said, "So, you came out just to find your daughter?"
I said, "Yes." ”
Liu Wufeng said: "In the vast sea of people, where to find?"
I didn't answer because I didn't know the answer. Liu Wufeng looked at me for a long time and said, "The people of the beggar gang are a good choice. ”
"What?" I understood.
Liu Wufeng said: "You use the people of the beggar gang to help you find your daughter, this is a good choice." But there are also significant risks. ”
I asked, "What are the risks?" ”
Liu Wufeng said: "Soon, the emperor will know the news of your return." And in his eyes, you will become the undoubted leader of the beggar gang, with thousands of disciples under your command, and you will become a new force in the rivers and lakes that the imperial court is afraid of. ”
I was silent. I really didn't think about anything like that. But I still have luck: "Although there are many people in the beggar gang, they are not as good as other sects." They are nothing more than a bunch of bullied beggars who don't know martial arts. ”
"Too many people is a threat. Liu Wufeng said lightly.
"Then you go back and tell him. Lou Qin suddenly said, "From today on, I am also a member of the beggar gang." ”
Liu Wufeng glanced at Lou Qin and was indifferent. He said, "Do you think the emperor will believe it?"
That's all right. I couldn't bear it anymore and yelled, "What should I do then?
Liu Wufeng stared at him and said, "Come back with me." ”
Get back?
I asked, "Where to go?"
Liu Wufeng said, "Go see the emperor." ”
Zhao Gou's figure appeared in my mind again, and the scene of the Qinzheng Palace four years ago was vividly in my mind. That copy
Dangerous, it makes me afraid.
Lou Qin grabbed my arm and said, "You can't go back." When you disobeyed him, he hated you to the bone. If you go to see him, he will not let you go. ”
"No, it won't. Liu Wufeng said, "The emperor will not be difficult for you." ”
"Why?" I wondered.
Liu Wufeng said: "Now that the struggle in the imperial court is fierce, and the forces in the rivers and lakes are all dependent on each other, if you can return to the emperor with a beggar gang, he will definitely not be difficult for you." ”
Submission?
I couldn't help laughing: "Isn't the lesson of the Wulin League deep enough?"
Liu Wufeng slowly closed his eyes, and his face showed a rare helplessness. He said, "You don't understand the emperor. The emperor has the helplessness of being an emperor. ”
I said, "I don't care what he has to do. He used me and harmed the rivers and lakes. ”
Liu Wufeng got up to leave, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly paused, turned his back to me and said, "If you want to find your daughter, returning to the emperor is the wisest choice." ”
With that, Liu Wufeng left.

It's night.
There was a silky light rain in the sky, and the drizzle was hazy and dense. Let the Louqin Inn in the dark night be as unreal as a mirror.
But it's all very real. I was standing in the same room I had been living in, standing by the window and staring at the rain. A damp and cool wind blew on my face with a thin rain. I suddenly felt very tired, I really wanted to fall asleep, and when I opened my eyes, it was the scene six years ago, Li Xiaoqian wandered around the room like crazy, and said to me: "I can't go back, can you call my mother?"
"What are you thinking?" Lou Qin pushed open my half-hidden door and walked over to me. Her voice is soft and will always give me a sense of home.
I asked her, "You say, will Satsuki blame me?"
Lou Qin was stunned, smiled and said, "No." ”
"But......" I said, "if I hadn't saved Chen Boyang in the first place, maybe none of this would have happened." ”
Lou Qin said: "There is nothing wrong with kindness, it is those who are wrong with evil thoughts." ”
I said, "But good people do wrong things." ”
"As long as you have good intentions, even if the result is not perfect, at least you have a clear conscience. Lou Qin looked far, far away, she said, "There was once a person who told me that nothing in this world can be controlled by people, but my own heart can." ”
Her words were meaningful. I didn't understand it, but I remembered that I had a clear conscience.
I said, "I want to see him." ”
"See whom?" Lou Qin looked back at me.
I felt that Lou Qin had guessed who I was talking about. It's just that she doesn't want to admit it. I said, "Zhao Gou." ”
Lou Qin slowly closed her eyes and said, "Have you thought about it?"
I said, "I said, he is the emperor, and he has the most powerful power in the world." He can help me find Shu Yao. ”
Lou Qin nodded and said, "Since you have decided, then do it according to your own decision." I'll help you. ”
I asked her, "Why are you so nice to me?"
Lou Qin smiled faintly and said, "Because, I owe someone a favor." One forever
I can't afford to pay it back. ”
Lou Qin said, you have to remember that the emperor does not necessarily have the most powerful power in the world, but he has the deepest helplessness in the world. This is a very important thing.
I can't understand what Lou Qin said very important, I didn't experience it at that time, and I didn't experience it. In fact, all the truths in this world are like this, no matter how profoundly they are described and how they are penetrated, those who have not experienced it have never been able to deeply understand it.
But when I really feel it deeply, I don't know what kind of regret it shouldn't have been.

Next. I took Yu Thirteen to Liu Wufeng's mansion.
Liu Wufeng sent a subordinate out and led me to a courtyard that was not too big. There was an arrow target in the courtyard, and Liu Wufeng was pulling a strong bow and aiming hard at the bull's-eye.
Yu 13 sneezed, and the subordinate hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered, "The adult is practicing arrows, don't disturb." ”
Yu Shisan and I stood quietly and waited. Half an hour passed, Liu Wufeng was still aiming, and the arrow on the string was never released.
I lost patience and shouted at Liu Wufeng, "Are you still cumming?"
Liu Wufeng frowned, and with a "whoosh", the sharp arrow pulled a sharp whistle and flew over with the arrow target.
"Damn!" Liu Wufeng threw his bow on the ground and yelled at me, "I could have shot, but you were talking nonsense on the side and disturbing my mind!"
I'm speechless. I had to take out five hundred taels of silver tickets from my arms and stuff them into Liu Wufeng's hands. This is the money I owed him back then, and now it's time to pay him back.
Liu Wufeng counted them, was quite satisfied, and said, "It's about the same." Even if you compensate me for the loss of a single shot. ”
I said, "No." It's ......"
Liu Wufeng waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay." I won't bother with you, you don't have to say any more sour words of apology. ”
"Nope. It's actually ......" I tried hard to explain.
Liu Wufeng put the silver ticket into his arms and asked, "When will you pay me back the five hundred taels you owe me?"
I can't be greedy, but Liu Wufeng is the most greedy.
I cursed in my heart. Holding back the dissatisfaction in his heart, he took out another five hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to Liu Wufeng very reluctantly.
Liu Wufeng took the silver ticket, showed a rare smile, counted it, and said, "For the sake of many years of friends, the interest will not be calculated with you." ”
At this time, Yu 13 picked up a stone from the ground, aimed at the bullseye of 30 meters, and threw it hard. A dark shadow passed, and in an instant, the red heart of the target turned into a hole that was not much different from a stone.
"If you can't use the arrow, don't rely on others. Yu Shisan said coldly.
Liu Wufeng's face turned pale, he snorted heavily, and said to me, "Today, are you here to demonstrate to me?"
I said, "No." I want you to take me to the emperor. ”
Liu Wufeng frowned and became serious: "Have you thought about it?"
I nodded and said, "I've thought about it." ”
Liu Wufeng also nodded, stretched out a hand, and said, "One hundred taels for the guide fee." ”
