The little maid looked at the title deed on the table, and said to herself, "I don't know if it's enough in the end." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Fourth Master Qi said: "I do have some silver in my hand, but it is all public accounts, I am just taking care of it for your brothers, and I can't take it out." ”
The little maid nodded and said, "These things have already troubled the fourth master." ”
Fourth Master Qi waved his hand to show that he didn't have to care, and came up with another idea, saying: "In fact, as long as Xu Chen enters the palace and says a word, more than 40,000 taels of silver is not too troublesome." ”
The little maid thought about Xu Chen's intention to buy the house by Yanming Lake, and understood that he definitely did not want to have anything to do with the imperial court, so she shook her head and said, "Let's look at the movement over there in Yishiju." ”
"Don't look at it. ”
Xu Chen walked into the room, looked at the title deeds on the table, and said, "If the price on the letter of intent will not change again, then we have enough silver on hand." ”
Qi Siye sneered and said: "The price we offered is already extremely kind, and we have signed a letter of intent, if those houseowners by the lake temporarily raise the price, is it true that the brothers of our fish and dragon gang are a group of good men and women?"
Xu Chen liked Qi Siye's statement very much, and said: "The silver ticket will probably be sent over later, and when the time comes, I will trouble you to sign the documents with the owner of the house." ”
Qi Siye was a little surprised, and said, "Whose name is written?"
Xu Chen said: "Write your name first. ”
Children of the rivers and lakes, it is not uncommon for family wives to be entrusted to their brothers, and Qi Siye said without hesitation: "Okay." ”
Xu Chen said: "Can this matter be kept secret?"
Qi Siye said: "Let's see how long you need to hide it." ”
Xu Chen calculated the time and said, "This winter at the latest." ”
Qi Siye said: "There is no problem. ”
Leaving the Xicheng Silver Hook Gambling House, Xu Chen and the little maid did not go back to Lao Bizhai directly, but came to Yanming Mountain.
The two of them looked at the lake below the mountain, and at the few courtyards on the other side of the lake.
I bought all the courtyards by the lake, the picture is quiet, and there are some more important reasons, but there is no need to let others know those reasons.
The little maid looked at the houses on the other side and asked, "We will live here in the future?"
Xu Chen nodded and said, "After winter, this lake will freeze relatively strongly. ”
The capital city is in late spring and summer, the temperature has become hotter, but it is the best time in the northern wasteland, the breeze is coming, blowing the knee-deep grass, like a green ocean, about fifty miles north of the Zuo Tent Royal Court, close to the green sea of Minshan, but there are many variegated colors.
The charred ground, the severed roots, the broken arrows that sank deep into the ground, and the traces left behind by those formations indicate that a war has just ended here.
This war came to the wasteland with the spring, and ended with the deepening of spring, the Central Plains coalition army was prosperous, and with the guidance and help of the royal cavalry, the Snow Country tribe moved south launched a series of battles, and the cruel war that lasted for nearly 100 days made many people die on both sides, but the Snow Country people finally forcibly held the last line of defense, and kept the most important and fattest pasture.
The grain and grass of the countries were continuously transported to the Yan country, and there were strong cultivators to help, but in the end they failed to achieve the strategic goal of driving the snow people back to the cold region, the reason why this is so is because of the strength of the snow country warriors, and the Chaoyang Iron Cavalry and the Xiling Guardian Cavalry are not dispatched is also an important reason.
The smell of embers floats on this post-war grassland, slightly scorched and slightly smelly, not far from the sloping meadow of Minshan Mountain, there are hundreds of piles of stones, and all kinds of cloth strips are hung on the stone piles, which dance slowly with the spring breeze, and these stone piles are the graves of the steppe cavalry.
The corpses of Snowweaver warriors are rarely seen on the grasslands, because no matter how fierce the battle, Snowlanders will do whatever it takes to bring their dead companions back to the tribe.
In a continuous war of nearly 100 days, the Central Plains Coalition did not capture a single Snow Countryman.
The cavalry of the Chaoyang Army, who was riding a war horse to clean the battlefield on the grassland, looked at the stone piles in the distance, thinking about the performance of the Snow Countrymen on the battlefield, and was vigilant and had a little admiration.
Not to be a prisoner, not to leave a companion behind, this is also the iron law of the Chaoyang army, the Chaoyang soldiers finally understand why the Snow people were called natural warriors thousands of years ago, and why the ancestors would expend so much energy to drive these Snow people out of the wasteland.
Also the best warriors, it's no surprise that the Sunrise Army has a sense of admiration for the Snowweaver clan, and then they want to look for an opportunity to fight the mighty Snowweavers head-on.
It is a pity that in this bloody and cruel war, the Chaoyang Northeast Frontier Army was responsible for escorting baggage, suppressing mutinies, maintaining military discipline, and cleaning up the battlefield, but there was no chance to go to the frontal battlefield.
Because this is the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor Chaoyang, and it is also the order of General Ximen Wang.
Simon looked at the fertile grassland under his feet, looked at the grass roots that were trampled into the dirt by his boots, and slowly moved the soles of his boots, and with the soft sound of sizzling, something almost oily and watery squeezed out of the side of the leather boots, in addition to the rotten substance of the black fertile mud, there was now a lot of rotten blood.
Since the beginning of the war, his Iron Rider has never met a Snowpiercer warrior head-on, not even a Snowpiercer, but he is not as curious and excited as his subordinates are to fight each other - because he is a Snowpiercer himself.
Looking at the black blood stains remaining on the grassland, Ximen Wang imagined the last battle a few days ago, imagining the picture of those clansmen who had not seen each other for a long time falling under feathered arrows or flying swords, his indifferent cheeks were expressionless, but his eyebrows twitched slightly.
The iron cavalry of the Chaoyang Empire did not make it to the frontal battlefield, this is His Majesty's will, and it is also his idea. His Majesty knew where he came from, and still let him personally command the war, which was to agree with him.
For His Majesty's trust, Ximen Wang is very grateful.
A clear whistle sounded in the distance, and he looked up expressionlessly, only to see a steppe girl riding a horse and driving hundreds of sheep to graze hundreds of feet below the meadow.
Soon after the end of the war, the people of the steppe began to graze again, and from this point of view, life was always peaceful and simple, and the war was only an interlude in between.
Looking at the grassland girl with a ruddy face and clear eyes, Ximen Wang remembered the picture of himself escaping from the mountain gate many years ago and remeeting his sister in Hebei County.
Then he confirmed that his gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor had nothing to do with the trust and tolerance of the past years, but only that His Majesty had been kind to his sister.
General Ximen Wang, who seems to be violent and powerful, in fact, the big people in the world who know his true identity have been trying to use his past identity to blackmail him and control him, and his true identity is like countless spider silks, tying him, a big insect in armor, in the middle of the web, no matter how he struggles, he can only gradually silence and then gradually suffocate.
His Majesty the Emperor of Chaoyang knows his origin, and the head of the Xiling Temple knows his origin, these two know like two impregnable stone walls, slowly approaching each other in the past few years, and he is struggling to breathe in the stone wall, no matter which way he leans in, it seems to be a dead word.
He once thought about leaning against the stone walls on both sides, loyal to Chaoyang and serving Xiling at the same time, and he did the same in the past few years, but the two loyalists couldn't get along in harmony after all, so in the end he could only be loyal to himself, and maintain his strength with violence and coldness, and don't get close to the stone wall.
It's a pity that manpower is sometimes poor, and he is still strong, but he will be old, sick, and weak, and those two stone walls will never become loose and fragile, and he has killed many people, and those people want to kill him.
So Simon wanted to make himself strong forever, and he went to the north bank of the sea to seize the book of heaven, but finally lost all hope in front of the scholar.
When he was really desperate, he suddenly gave birth to a new hope, and in front of the mountains and rivers, suddenly there was a bright willow and a flower, and the scholar made Simon Wang break off the idea of being strong forever and being invincible forever, but found the possibility of returning safely and not asking about the world.
"Summer is coming and it's all coming to an end. ”
Simon looked at the grassland in the spring breeze, thinking about the coming midsummer, and a rare gentle expression gradually appeared on his cold and iron-like face.
His sister is the Queen of the Rising Sun, and his sister is called Summer.
