Chapter 271: The Nine Horses
Wuling Road is close to Yanshan, and most of the roads are also made of local materials, and most of them are made of mountain stones. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info White rode unhurriedly on a white horse, following behind that large convoy. He looked at the carriages in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder why Dragon Tooth was the first to come to him before he took office.
It stands to reason that the first thing an inspector should do when he takes office should be to hand over official documents, and then go to the reception banquet funded by his local colleagues and subordinates, and meet those local snakes, how could he be the first to find himself? Bai Yi asked Tianyi before he traveled, but even Tianyi, whose arithmetic methods were already very amazing, did not give him an answer, or rather, even if Tianyi was during this time, he could not calculate his future after that.
If you don't know anything, or if the other party has converged all the traces, even if you are skilled in arithmetic, it is completely useless.
In the final analysis, it was because Bai Yi chose to hibernate and messed up the trajectory of the Mandate of Heaven to a mess, which led to such a result. This pot has to be carried by Bai Yi himself.
The scorching summer sun hung above the sky, scorching everything, but the white clothes were still swaying and unaware. Although he had some doubts in his heart, since he chose to agree to the dragon's tooth's request and go to the reception banquet with him, Bai Yi would not have any regrets.
The deterrence that should have been done has been done, and the temptation that should have been dealt with has been dealt with. Although not all the northern sects have the final say on the three major sects of Shengjing City, the abandoned sons discharged by these three major sects have all been killed, and those small and medium-sized sects will not be stupid to kill themselves.
Although those are all outcasts, but which one of the three major gates is not generous, and the ones thrown away are all nine consummations, it is conceivable to what extent the sect has reached. That is, in white clothes, the plug-in is always online, and there is no need to renew and recharge, otherwise according to the routines of those traditional people of destiny, it should have exploded at this time.
"You're really laid-back!" Seeing the white clothes behind the team from a distance, the dragon's teeth seemed to be intent on courting him, and he rushed over.
With inexplicable eyes, Bai Yi carefully looked at this man who was once familiar but is now extremely strange. Although they were not friends before, they had worked together for a while. Ever since this high-spirited dragon tooth was killed by himself, and then forcibly renewed by the Mandate of Heaven, he has gradually lost that familiar feeling, as if his soul has been inadvertently stolen.
"I just don't understand why you have to pull me up for your reception. I'm a little flattered by this enthusiasm. Bai Yi's tone was a little gloomy, as if he lamented the indifferent passing of time, even if he had been in a fantasy world, but those illusions also appeared according to the truth? Who can deny that in the illusion, he is familiar with these realities?
"Actually, I'm just borrowing your reputation. Dragontooth smiled, but the smile was really reluctant, "People have to recognize themselves after all." Ever since I almost died by your sword, I've learned a point. What I'm proud of is nothing in this world. So how can such an ordinary me get what I want?"
"I guess I'll have to do my best. ”
"My reputation is also your own full strength?" Bai Yi couldn't understand such thoughts, the original person who always adhered to his pride and uniqueness, also began to recognize the darkness and reality of this world? The span of this transformation is really incomprehensible.
"Oh, what I borrowed with my own chips, why can't it be counted as my own strength. Besides, a person's strength has a limit after all, although my talent in martial arts is not bad, but after all, I can't compare to Aya, she is the real person of destiny, and she is a phoenix favored by God. ”
Full of a sense of disobedience in his heart, Bai Yi faced this man who seemed to have changed his concept, and after all, he didn't say anything to hit him. In other words, the relationship between the two of them should not have reached that point of honesty, he just wanted to confide in something, and Bai Yi just wanted to see through the other party's purpose from this not entirely true talk.
"Since you can't pursue the ultimate in martial arts, then it's better to let me stand higher. So I need more power, I want to have power over everyone. Dragon Tooth told him calmly, as if he felt that the white clothes in front of him would definitely support him, and there was nothing to hide at all.
A husband can't be without power for a day, probably that's what I think. In life, it is human nature to pursue fame and fortune, and there is nothing to say about it. Compared with a ruthless and sexless puppet like Bai Yi, who has no desires and no desires, more people are intoxicated in the game of power and cannot extricate themselves, either for fame or profit.
The scorching sun is high and scorching the moist air after the rain, which is roughly the season of midsummer, when the downpour is followed by a brilliant and scorching sun, as if this abrupt change is just a matter of course.
Since such a changeable season is a matter of course, doesn't it seem natural that the dragon's tooth has changed from a proud official eunuch to a pawn of power chasing fame and fortune?
Looking at the dragon's tooth, the white man didn't feel that it was too dazzling, but he didn't quite understand that his current reputation as a murderer was really useful to him?
"I don't care if you use my reputation to do things, anyway, when Tianyi's princess title is in hand, I will follow her to Jiangnan, and I may never set foot in this northern land again in my life. The so-called thing like a tree wants to calm the wind is really troublesome. I think that in this life, as long as you live safely, it is probably enough. Although his waist was straight, although he still looked like a handsome young man, the twilight was like a deep-rooted cloud that lingered on the white body, making him foggy and difficult to see.
The so-called hibernation is not exactly such a thing, the twilight is dull, as if it is about to die in an instant, reducing all the desire to attack that exists in nature, becoming expected to be safe, and becoming extremely decadent.
"You're talking too lightly. If you can live in peace, who doesn't want to live well. But I'm afraid that as you said, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, how can there be so many good things in this world. If you don't move forward, someone will force you to move forward, or you will become a stumbling block in the eyes of others, kicked away, and then abandoned in the wilderness. Dragon's Tooth seemed to scoff at this, or rather, he didn't trust the famous young man in front of him to be a man who kept to himself.
What's more, if an evil dragon reins in his own minions, then everything about him will be coveted by everyone and then chased with his life. Man is such a creature, curious by nature, but does not know how to restrain his temperament, this uncontrollable curiosity is called greed.
Isn't he like this, because he lost in the hands of Bai Yi, if he didn't let his sister also lose in Bai Yi's hands, then the group of people in the family would naturally change their doors and gather under his sister's command, intending to subvert what he had.
What is that, in this world above the martial arts, do you think that you can put an end to the greed of people's hearts by virtue of such an ethereal thing as identity? Even if he believes that his sister, who has grown up together, will not do anything to him, but how can he let such a thing happen. How could he let his light be overshadowed by his sister who had never sacrificed anything, and the growth brought by life and death was far more than others imagined.
Like he said, he needs such a thing as power, he needs a high position, so that he can highlight his value, in this world, without value, there is nothing.
This is the most real change that life and death bring to the dragon's teeth, maybe a man is a teenager until he dies, but what about a man who has already died once, it should not be anymore.
Wuling Road is close to Shengjing City, although it is often harassed by the Yanshan bandits, but it is somewhat rich. At least the official residence of the Inspector is indeed very magnificent, and the cheering crowd around it also represents the attitude of local officials towards the dragon's teeth. At least this newly appointed supervisor has solved the Yanshan bandits, even if they don't know what kind of family background the Le Zheng family is in Shengjing, but at least they know that this supervisor is a very capable adult.
The white clothes leisurely rode their horses behind the convoys that were popular with the crowd, and seemed very inconspicuous. He watched the hustle and bustle with cold eyes, thinking to himself, is this the power that the dragon's tooth desires, even if all kinds of flowers are like brocade, but after all, it is not real.
The flowers fell in Jinguan City, and the flowers along the street were brilliant, and those people obviously put a lot of thought into welcoming the dragon's teeth. Even though the first thing Dragon Tooth did must be to hand over official documents, the celebration along the way may also be able to leave a good impression in the eyes of those people. The bureaucrats are indeed slippery people, and this is not true at all.
Wandering, Bai Yi did not follow the convoy into the official residence, and for him, there was no interest in visiting a man's home. The reception was in the evening, and it was still early, so he could find a place to relax and have a few drinks. Although he agreed to the exchange of dragon teeth, it seems that dragon teeth really have no time to pay attention to him now. With him, I guess I was afraid that he would suddenly regret it.
Bai Yi thought about his thoughts, found a deserted wine shop, and sat down.
"Guest, what do you need?" A guest suddenly appeared in front of him, and the owner of the wine shop was obviously very happy. The old-dressed lady hurriedly came up to greet her, lest she would not greet her properly, and let the only guest leave.
"What do you have here?" Although the two or three wooden tables here are very shabby, but the focus of Bai Yi is wine, as long as there is good wine, the place is simple In fact, he doesn't care much about it.
"The best thing here is wine, but this wine is a bit expensive, I don't know the guest officer. "Obviously, there is a reason why there are few customers in this wine shop, probably not many people in such a humble place will think that there will be anything high-priced, and this lady is confident in the value of her own drinks, and she probably refuses to give in to the price, so there are not many people.
"You just have to go up. Bai Yi sat on the bench and replied lightly.
However, this lady still looked embarrassed, it seemed that if Bai Yi didn't take out the money first, the other party obviously wouldn't have done anything. Seeing this appearance, Bai Yi naturally understood why there was no one left.
"Although the eldest lady is on the top, this person is a friend, and his account is paid at the next level. ”
Bai Yi followed the sound and looked over, only to realize who this person who claimed to be his friend was. It turned out to be the Gongsun Jiu who I met before who was looking for Bibotan, and I don't know why he appeared here at this time, which is really a coincidence.
However, the lady of the wine shop obviously knew him, and without saying anything, she did as he was told. And Gongsun Jiu also sat unceremoniously opposite the white clothes and looked at him with a smile.
"Why are you here? Bai Yi obviously didn't have much emotion, although the other party smiled very weirdly, but he didn't want to delve into it. The decadence and twilight that were deep in his bones affected Bai Yi's attitude, and he really didn't care about all the troubles now.
"I have been friends with Dragon Tooth for many years, but I didn't expect Brother Lu to know Dragon Tooth too, and they can also take care of each other. The ninth prince's folding fan knocked on Ruyu's palm, and his tone was not very embarrassed, as if he was envious of the relationship between Bai Yi and the dragon's teeth.
"It turns out that you are also in that convoy, did the dragon tooth ask you to come to me?" Although Bai Yi was decadent, he was obviously not a fool, and when the other party said this, he also guessed the other party's intention. However, when the dragon tooth saw that he did not follow up on the mansion, he sent someone to monitor him. How much trust in him is good, since he agreed, how could he wantonly breach the contract?
After all, the current dragon's tooth's mind is indeed suspicious to the point of pathology, or is it actually that people who are greedy for power will become like this, suspicious of all the people around them?
"Actually, I also admire Brother Lu very much, at least I never thought that someone would be able to break through the blockade set by the three major gates of Shengjing City, and he could also deter the northern sects with the power of one person. Of course, I admired Brother Lu even more for being able to win the heart of the princess of the Luo family, after all, His Majesty had promised to do it for the next concubine. ”
Like a joke or a provocation, the Ninth Prince looked at Bai Yi playfully, as if he wanted to see what kind of reaction he would have.
It's just that Bai Yi's reaction is still indifferent, even a little tired and lazy.
His twilight-shrouded eyes just stared at the ninth prince quietly, and then sighed softly: "You want to marry Tianyi? It's a pity that you can't." ”
"Is it because Brother Lu took the lead?"
"It's not, it's just that, Yanhe, how long are you going to act? Is it really interesting to dress up as a man?"
