Night.

Night fell again.

The lights in the restaurant are high, and the sheng song orchestration. Merchants from the south to the north gather in the store, drink wine in large bowls and eat meat. Dressed in a thin layer of light silk yarn, the singers of the Spring Moon Fang danced in the hall to show off their beauty to the guests. The wine is mellow and the fish is fat, the beauty is current, and the joy of the feast is not missing. The drinker squinted his drunken eyes in a trance, and took stumbling steps, repeating the inevitable absurdity of the world.

The happy chick drank a few glasses of wine and hurriedly took her leave.

Tang Yu sent her away and sat alone in the private room, eating cold dishes and drinking cold wine, and listening to the prosperous sheng songs outside the window. Some people begged for food on the street, some people got drunk and fought with knives, two yellow-faced women quietly talked about the cheating of a coquettish woman's husband, and the bankrupt male owner of a crude medicine shop across the street hanged himself. What is the disturbance of life, what does it matter to me? I just want to get drunk.

Pouring a bowl of wine on his neck, Tang Yu tore a piece of mountain chicken, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. Chanted: "The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinkers left their names." ”

Someone outside the door answered: "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." ”

It's a woman's voice.

Tang Yu remained silent. Miao Miao opened the curtain and entered, her expression gloomy: "It's me, you didn't expect it, right?" Tang Yu didn't look at her, took a long sip of wine, and swallowed, "Why did you come?" Miao Miao said: "There are very few people in the world who can solve Chen Fangfang's poison. Seeing that the date of the poison is approaching, if I don't come, do you want to wait for death?"

"There is no joy in life, and what is there to fear in death. ”

"Don't talk stupid. Miao Miao comforted, "As the saying goes, it is better to die than to live." But if there is any hope, who wants to die?"

"You're realistic?"

"Most women are more pragmatic. ”

"Including echoing the voice, secretly arrows hurting people?

"I'm just a weak woman, what can I do in the face of such a powerful force. Miao Miao explained, "You also know that I belong to the 'Red Sleeves Fragrance', and since a person has joined the organization, everything is not her own, including life. ”

Tang Yu said, "So you betrayed me to Chen Fangfang?"

"I know I'm sorry for you. Miao Miao tore open her clothes, became emotional, and said, "If you don't forgive, kill me." Give me a knife, I don't blame you. ”

"You think I'll still believe you?"

"Except for 'Red Sleeves and Fragrance', I have something to hide from you. For the rest, I didn't tell a single lie. ”

"What's the point of saying that now?"

"I know you once believed in me and took me as a friend. "Miaomian is ashamed. She approached the table, poured a bowl of wine, and drank it all: "Actually, the three of us sisters were sold by our father when we were just over ten years old, one was a child daughter-in-law, and two entered a big family to call a girl. After a few private discussions, we decided to take advantage of our father's drunkenness and escape in the night......"

Then he smiled sadly and said, "I won't mention the hardships and hardships along the way...... When we encountered bandits robbing and our lives hanging by a thread that year, it was Sister Chen Fangfang who rescued us, took us in, taught martial arts, and gave our three sisters a way to live......"

"So you're going to help her and do bad things with her?"

"The good and evil, right and wrong, in the world, how can there be such a black and white distinction. ”

Miao Miao was indifferent, and said: "The mistakes in your eyes are talked about and praised elsewhere, and the goodness that you wholeheartedly believe in and do not discard may be scorned by all the people if you change the angle of time and space a little! Isn't it? In the face of right and wrong, which of us has ever sincerely blamed ourselves? Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui and established himself as the king of the Han Dynasty, because Xu Shouhui naturally cursed his subordinates for their shameless betrayal and could not escape the blame. But in the mouth of the ambitious King of Han, what you must have heard must be another saying, called 'natural selection, survival of the fittest'?"

Tang Yu clenched his fists: "You are heresy. ”

If Zhu Yuanzhang had this kind of woman's benevolence, he would not have used all forces to sweep away the crowd and establish a huge Ming Empire. Miao lowered his face and whispered: "So sometimes if a person wants to survive, he must learn to adapt to the situation......"

"You mean to make me bow to Chen Fangfang?"

"Is there any other way out? ”

Tang Yu sighed: "Confused." ”

"Are you talking about me?" Miao Miao asked, "Believe me, I advise you to obey for the time being and save your life." Totally well-intentioned. ”

"I'm here to show you my attitude. ”

Tang Yu pushed away the wine bowl, his expression remained unchanged, and said: "Yes, I am just a small person at the bottom, with a humble status and a low status, such a person should not only be greedy for money, but also afraid of death, right?" Chen Fangfang must be full of confidence in his victory. But I'm telling you, she was wrong, hopelessly wrong. Even if I am not a hero, I still have the minimum dignity of being a human being, if there is no bottom line, then I am not a human being, but a completely dead dog?"

"But if you think clearly, the antidote is in Chen Fangfang's hands. If you don't give in to her and join the 'Red Sleeves Fragrance', she won't give you ......"

"I've thought about it a long time ago, it's a big deal. I was young, full of blood, and courageous, far from the point of fear of death. Tang Yu laughed: "You go back and tell Chen Fangfang, just say that kid is stubborn and can't be taught-if you are really angry, just take my corpse and dismantle it." ”

As he spoke, he poured another bowl of wine, drank it in three or two sips, and threw away the empty bowl: "Happy!"

Miao Miao glanced at Tang Yu and said, "Take care of yourself, I'm leaving." ”

"Please. ”

Tang Yu picked up the wine jar and opened the seal again.

Miao Miao had already walked to the door, turned back again, and stood opposite Tang Yu: "I know that your government is looking for 'Hundred Changes', but this person has always been elusive, cunning rabbit three holes, it is not easy for people to catch traces." ”

Tang Yu pricked up his ears all of a sudden: "Do you know where he is?"

"Of course I do. ”

Miao Miao sneered and said, "But now you don't believe me at all, and they are strangers to each other, so it's better not to say it after I think about it." ”

"You also learn to hang people's appetites. ”

"Men, sometimes you need to hang it. Too easy to get things that they often don't cherish......"

"What about women? Aren't you women like that?"

Tang Yu's eyes were confused.

"Women only like rhetoric. Miao Miao smiled and sneered: "Sometimes even if they know it's fake, they are willing to listen to it in their hearts." ”
