The house is warm like spring.
The bright and spacious high hall, the delicate wooden table, and the pungent wine.
The wine is scalded with hot water, and it feels warmer when you drink it.
Shen Hanzhu had changed his clothes and was now sitting comfortably at the table, calmly drinking a glass of wine.
It was Yu Shuiyue who poured him wine with her own hands.
Shen Hanzhu didn't feel flattered in the slightest, because he knew in his heart that what was waiting for him would be a split-throat question.
As long as Yu Shuiyue didn't speak, he only cared about drinking.
When he can, he tries not to speak. If you don't open your mouth, people won't know what you're thinking.
Yu Shuiyue's first question was quite inexplicable: "Do you hate money?"
The relaxed expression on Shen Hanzhu's face didn't seem to be strange at all that Yu Shuiyue would ask such a question, as if he had expected Yu Shuiyue to ask him like this, he gently picked up the wine glass in his hand, put it to his mouth, sniffed it deeply, and said, "If someone pours you such a fine wine every day, do you think you will hate him?"
"But he made up a trumped-up story to trick you into going up to the Tianshan Mountains to get the Snow Lotus, and without your knowledge, he sent another person to steal the Tianshan Snow Lotus, don't you think his approach is excessive?" When Yu Shuiyue said this, her eyes kept staring at Shen Hanzhu's face, as if she could detect the answer from his face.
Shen Hanzhu smiled: "Master Qian raised me since I was a child, how could he suddenly harm me? He did this, in fact, he helped me play a big game of chess. ā
"Really?" Yu Shuiyue said incredulously, "Then what do you say he did this for?"
Shen Hanzhu stretched his waist: "A capable person like Master Qian naturally knows the ability of Yaochi Palace very well, especially the ability of your Yu Palace Master, if it were you, would you invite people with mediocre martial arts such as Fei Sanniang and Yuan Baichen to go to Tianshan Mountain to fetch Snow Lotus? ā
Yu Shuiyue's face changed slightly: "Are you kid scolding me in a different way?"
Shen Hanzhu said: "If I want to scold Palace Master Yu, will I choose to scold in this place? The reason why Master Qian invited such a large group of people to come is just to make the movement bigger. ā
"Why did he make a big move?" Yu Shuiyue was puzzled.
"He wants everyone in the rivers and lakes to know that Second Mrs. Qian is really sick. Shen Hanzhu said.
Yu Shuiyue was stunned for a moment and said, "What good will a person do if he says that his wife is sick?"
"Of course there are benefits, at least everyone will think that I went to Yaochi Palace to fetch the Tianshan Snow Lotus! Before I met these people, including myself, I thought the same way!" Shen Hanzhu said with a straight face.
"Listen to your tone, don't you think like that now?" Yu Shuiyue also picked up the wine glass, maybe at this time, this topic made her think that drinking some wine might not seem so gaffe.
"Yes, I don't think so. When most people think that's the truth, it's not the truth. Shen Hanzhu picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Yu Shuiyue really couldn't figure out how this young man could have such a good mind: "Are you telling me that when you deliberately let something become true, it will definitely not be true?"
Shen Hanzhu nodded and said, "So Master Qian asked me to come to Tianshan, not really to fetch Snow Lotus." So when Fei Sanniang wanted to work with me, I said: 'You go get it, I don't want it'!"
"At that time, you already thought of Qian Caiwang's intentions?"
"Yes, I thought of it. Shen Hanzhu began to pour wine for the Yu Palace Lord in turn.
"Then what do you think is the real purpose of Qian Caiwang calling you to Tianshan?" Yu Shuiyue took the wine glass and gently placed it on the table.
Shen Hanzhu pointed to the glass of wine and said, "This is the second time you have asked the same question today. In fact, Master Qian asked me to go to Tianshan, just like why didn't you drink the good wine I poured you now, you didn't drink because you just drank a glass of wine, so you didn't want to drink, and similarly, he asked me to come to Tianshan because he didn't want to come to Tianshan himself. ā
Yu Shuiyue pondered for a moment and said: "I'm not familiar with Qian Caiwang, so it's not the key whether he comes to Tianshan or not, the key is why he wants to play this game of chess?"
Shen Hanzhu said: "There are only two reasons for a person to entrust another person to do something. ā
"Which two?"
Shen Hanzhu took the wine in Yu Shuiyue's hand and drank it all, then wiped his mouth and said, "Just like this glass of wine, if you want someone else to drink it for you, either you don't want to drink it yourself, or you want to see how others drink it." It's the same with Master Qian, either he doesn't want to take it himself, or he just wants to train me?"
Yu Shuiyue looked like she didn't understand: "You mean that Master Qian wants to train you to be stronger?"
Shen Hanzhu suddenly changed the subject: "Actually, he originally had a letter for me to send. ā
Yu Shuiyue hurriedly asked, "Where is the letter?"
Shen Hanzhu shook his head and said, "I didn't bring it." ā
"Why?"
"Master Qian entrusted someone else to write it on his behalf, but the person who sent the letter did not deliver the letter to Master Qian. Master Qian only received a severed hand, a terrifying and terrifying severed hand. When Shen Hanzhu said this, an angry expression appeared on his face.
Yu Shuiyue was also taken aback, and said, "The person who delivered the letter was killed, and who was the murderer?"
"Fang Caiao, the son of the second head of the Wanshui Gang!" Shen Hanzhu said it through gritted teeth when he said this name.
"Why did he kill the messenger?" asked Yu Shuiyue.
"You ask me this question, who do I ask?" Shen Hanzhu said helplessly.
"Then do you know who Qian Caiwang entrusted to write the letter?" asked Yu Shuiyue.
Shen Hanzhu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only saw two words embroidered on the broken hand." ā
"What word?" asked Yu Shuiyue nervously.
"Huashan!"
Yu Shuiyue suddenly became in pain, her body began to tremble, and her whole body was shaking.
Shen Hanzhu looked at Yu Shuiyue's reaction very strangely and asked, "What did Palace Master Yu think of?"
Yu Shuiyue suddenly stared at Shen Hanzhu and said, "I heard Ao Xue say that you made a 'thunder strike' on the snow?
Shen Hanzhu nodded and said, "It's a little fur." ā
"Who taught you?"
Shen Hanzhu thought for a moment and said, "Master Qian!"
Yu Shuiyue's emotions began to get excited again, and she shouted hysterically: "Impossible! It must be the one who suffered a thousand cuts! It must be the one who suffered a thousand cuts!"
Shen Hanzhu didn't make a sound.
I only heard Yu Shuiyue say: "Isn't he dead? Is he still alive?
Yu Shuiyue's emotions were completely out of control, she actually cried for a while, laughed for a while, and no longer cared about her identity as the palace master of Yaochi Palace.
Shen Hanzhu didn't know what she was talking nonsense, and remembered what the master had said:
Whoever can give you pain must have given you happiness!
