The back garden of Jinghai City

The moon hangs in the middle of the sky, the clear light is everywhere, and the back garden is quiet and peaceful.

Gu Litong sat in the octagonal pavilion, took a glass of wine, drank it slowly, and poured away the melancholy and despair in his heart one by one.

He was left alone, deserted, with no friends, no enemies, and couldn't go out in the back garden all day long.

Even if you go out, Jinghai City has nothing to see, it is 108,000 miles worse than Chongming City, just like going from the city to a poor village in the countryside, and you really can't afford to go shopping.

Recently, the limelight has been tight, and the people in the Renguo Mansion have been in turmoil, and it is dangerous for him to go out, so he has been staying in the city guard mansion and not dying.

Only fiddling with these flowers and plants is overkill for him, and those strange flowers and plants in the Guogong Mansion can be manipulated obediently, these flowers and plants are simply not worth mentioning.

"Alas......," he sighed faintly.

I have confessed my whole life, I have hated the eldest son, it is impossible to return to the Gongfu again, it is already the kindness of the third lady to be able to stay in the city guard, I don't want to give my life in vain, of course, I don't want to become a pawn against the Guogong Mansion.

In any case, it is impossible for me to return to the Gongfu again!

Thinking of the previous days in the Guogong Mansion, with fine clothes and fine food, raising his eyebrows, but now he can only be a man with his tail between his legs, and I really feel that there is no fun in living.

"Brother Gu is so interested!" The green shadow flashed, and Chu Li appeared in the small pavilion, wearing a green shirt and a long sword hanging from his waist, and sat opposite him.

Gu Litong frowned and stared at him: "Why are you here?"

Chu Li smiled: "Brother Gu, don't come to harm, right?"

"Do you have such a good heart?" Gu Litong sneered: "Do you want to see if I run?"

"Where can you go?" Chu Li smiled: "Brother Gu is a smart person, I have always been very relieved." ”

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" Gu Litong snorted: "You are now a celebrity in front of the third lady, you are very busy, how can you have the time to take care of me, a wasted person!"

Chu Li smiled: "Depressed and feel hopeless in life?"

"What do you say?" Gu Litong snorted.

He was a broken jar, so he had no scruples, and said coldly: "Okay, don't be vain, let it go if you have a fart!"

Chu Li didn't care about his attitude, and said with a smile: "There is a little thing that needs your help." ”

"Say!" Gu Litong snorted: "Can I refuse?"

Chu Li said: "Help me plant a few kinds of grass." ”

"Spirit grass, right?" Gu Litong frowned at him: "What do you want to do?"

Chu Li took out a plain note from his arms and handed it to him: "I will say hello to the city guard." ”

Gu Litong spread out the plain paper, looked down a few times, looked up and said, "So many?"

Chu Li said: "Most of them are ordinary medicinal materials, there are several kinds of spirit grasses, can they work?"

"Who said no!" Gu Litong snorted proudly: "No problem!"

"There's no spiritual land here!"

"There is no need to use spiritual soil for these kinds of spirit grass!" Gu Litong pursed his lips and looked him up and down: "What are you going to do when you plant these?"

Chu Li smiled and spread his hands.

Gu Litong snorted: "How much do you want to plant?"

"The more the merrier. Chu Li said: "But keep it secret, and try it as fast as possible!"

"What's in it for me?" Gu Litong snorted.

"One thousand taels. Chu Li took out ten silver tickets from his arms and handed them over: "Is it enough?"

"That's pretty much it!" Gu Litong showed a hint of a smile.

No matter how hateful Chu Li is, he can't get along with the silver, and besides, he also knows that his life was saved by Chu Li.

was saved by him, he couldn't be grateful, he still felt hateful when he looked at Chu Li, but he would not cut off contact because of this, and he would have to rely on him in the future, otherwise, he would not be able to move an inch.

Chu Li looked around: "Didn't find a woman?"

"I don't have that thought!" Gu Litong carefully folded the plain note and put it away, and snorted: "It's not interesting to do anything here." ”

"Don't worry, after a while, when the limelight passes, the third lady will find a way to intercede for you, and the eldest prince may change his mind. ”

"Impossible!" Gu Litong shook his head.

He understands the character of the eldest prince, he can't rub the sand in his eyes, he has already fallen a stain, and the eldest prince will never use it again.

Chu Li smiled: "You are a genius, the eldest prince may cherish his talents." ”

"There are more geniuses in the house, and I am not one of them. Gu Litong snorted: "I don't want anything now, as long as I can live a peaceful life." ”

Chu Li looked at him: "With your skills, it's no problem to stay in the City Guard Mansion." ”

Gu Litong snorted proudly.

Chu Li said: "The Renguo Mansion is powerful, be careful!"

Gu Litong snorted: "Don't worry, I won't leave the house!"

Chu Li smiled: "If you do well, I will find a way to transfer you to another place and find a place that the Renguo Mansion can't touch." ”

"You-?" Gu Litong squinted at him and said disdainfully: "You want to be in power, it's very early!"

He knows the situation in the house very well, no matter how powerful Chu Li is, his age and qualifications are like two locks, locking the door for him to become a powerful person.

He has only been in the government for two years, and he is both young and young.

How can the relationship of two years be compared with more than ten years and twenty years, it is too easy to betray, and young people are uncertain, once they are in power, an impulse will affect the lives of many people, and they cannot be careless.

Chu Li said: "Don't worry, we are all young." ”

"Don't worry, I'll grow these. Gu Litong patted the position of the plain note on his chest: "I won't miss your business." ”

Chu Li smiled and nodded, Gu Litong is a smart person, and he can understand it at all.

――

Chen Jiudeng had dinner and returned to his study.

There were three cow candles lit in the study, which were as bright as day and did not hurt the eyes.

Although he is a martial arts master, he likes to read very much, broaden his horizons, know people's hearts, and is more conducive to climbing up.

Sitting in front of the bookcase, he has a Chinese face, a deep vertical line between his eyebrows, his eyes are sharp, and occasionally a glimpse of a fierce light flashes, and he has a momentum that is not angry but mighty.

He suddenly turned around, and Chu Li, dressed in a green shirt, stood behind him.

"Your Excellency, where is sacred?" Chen Jiudeng slowly stood up and looked at Chu Li calmly.

Chu Li said: "Chen Jiudeng Chen Hall Master, right?"

"It's Chen. Chen Jiudeng nodded: "Your Excellency came late at night, what advice do you have?"

Chu Li said: "I'm Chen Li of the Jingyun Gang." ”

Chen Jiudeng's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Shocking Cloud Gang, our gang has nothing to do with the Shocking Cloud Gang, right?"

"Chen Xuefeng. Chu Li looked at him.

The city is deep, he is a powerful person, he is congenitally cultivated, he is not up or down, if there is no external help, he must be like this for the rest of his life, but he is unwilling to do so.

Chen Jiudeng smiled: "Chen what peak?...... Who's that?"

Chu Li smiled: "You are his brother-in-law, I don't know who he is?"

Chen Jiudeng shook his head and smiled: "Your Excellency may have recognized the wrong person, I don't recognize Chen Xuefeng, let alone his brother-in-law." ”

Chu Li said: "Since this is the case, then you can only kill him." ”

Chen Jiudeng stared at him, trying to see through what he was thinking, and finally sighed: "Okay, he is my brother-in-law, what does Your Excellency want?"

"How about making a deal?" Chu Li said with a smile: "Jingyun helped you ascend to the position of helper. ”

"What do you want?" Chen Jiudeng snorted.

"Take a 30% tax. Chu Lidao.

"Impossible!" Chen Jiudeng flatly denied.

Chu Li smiled: "Don't worry, you can think about it,...... Once you become the leader, our two factions can form an alliance, so that we can both dominate the city, or more!"
