Chapter 140 Linzi II
Chen chrome was sleepy, shaking his head and passing the pair of teachers and students in front of him.
Pushing open the French doors is like opening a picture scroll.
In the courtyard, the rockery is green, the flowing water is gurgling, and the hourglass made of bamboo joints makes a clear sound of "dang" and "dang".The residual lotus in the pond has been cleaned up, only a few thorny lotus stalks are left in the water, the banks of the pond are full of green peaches, and yesterday's fallen leaves have not been cleaned in time.
Chen Chrome went out, closed the door, and leaned lazily by the door, his shadow lazily fell on the door, as if he was looking at Li Xinglan with his head tilted.
He spread out one hand, with the palm facing up, and slowly gathered his spiritual energy.
People in Linzi city came and went, but they didn't want the aura particles to become thinner. Chen Ru pinched for a while, and finally managed to get out a fat little wolf cub. He sculpted it with his mind, and it vaguely looked like Beichen.
Made myself laugh out loud.
The silvery white particles floated up and down in the air, melodious and ethereal, and the light spots fell through the crack of the door into the room, causing Li Xinglan's rare distraction, and couldn't help thinking about what Chen Chrome was doing.
Chen Ru let go of his hand, and the aura wolf cub seemed to have life, and ran to swim and play in the lotus pond.Wherever it passed, there were bursts of water splashes, and the green lotus leaves quickly smudged on the rice paper like emerald green ink, and a large flower grew "bang", and finally covered the pond, and the lotus blossomed one by one.
The little wolf cub clung to the rocks on the shore with its four paws in disorder, and struggled to get up, shaking the water on its head.The water droplets with aura fell on the grass, and each drop was a colorful wild flower.With the return of spring to the earth, the body of the aura little wolf is getting smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a cloud of green smoke, scattered in the wind, and scattered in the bleak green peach forest.
Chen Chrome finally woke up, went to the pond to wash his face, only put his palm in the water, fished it up casually, and immediately took out a piece of crispy lotus root, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed non-stop.
Listening to the sound of water outside, Tian An felt a group of people playing suddenly appeared in his yard. He was so curious that his eyes kept rolling.
Li Xinglan sighed with a smile, put down the slip in his hand, and said, "Learn here today, and check your homework tomorrow. Alright, let's go out and play."
Tian An pretended to thank Master calmly, stood up, and slowly opened the door: "Huh?"
The fragrance of lotus hits the face, and the green peaches in the garden are blooming brilliantly, like a raging fire.
Beside the courtyard wall, there are layers of gold and beet peaches, like clouds floating in the sky.Beside the door, mandarin ducks and peaches produce a pair of twin peaches at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chen Rue walked over chewing raw lotus root, picked a water-red peach, and handed it to Tian An: "Hey, eat peaches and live a long life."
Tian An opened his mouth wide, took the peach and started to eat it. Curious, he asked, "What are you eating?"
Chen Chrome: "I eat lotus root."
Tian An: "You have become a little ugly, but you are not as annoying as before."
Chen Chrome drew out the Chi You knife, stuck it into the back of Tian An's neck, picked him up with his skirt, and frowned: "Children, who are you calling ugly?"
Tian An struggled hard, but Chen Ru used his spiritual energy to control the sword, and picked him up in the air with just a flying sword. Although he didn't cry or shout, he was so scared that he peed his pants in the end.
"Chi You Knife, mine."
Chen Chrome put away his magical powers and laughed loudly, patted his head, and walked away together with Li Xinglan in his arms.
In the evening, everyone gathers for dinner.It's almost late autumn, and the night is cool, so everyone simply set up a hot pot to boil mutton and paste autumn fat.
After eating, a helper came to pack things.The one who is most satisfied with this is probably Yuan Jiawen, who finally doesn't have to be locked up in the kitchen as a coolie.
Everyone smelled fishy after eating, and each took a bath to rest.
Chen chrome and Li Xinglan were dressed in exquisitely crafted white clothes with wide robes and large sleeves. They walked like gods and floated like gods.
As night fell, except for the palace, the only place in the city was brightly lit, which was not like the world.
"This is heaven and earth." Chen Chrome hugged a bamboo basket and half-lyed on the outermost railing like a boneless body. He was not afraid of falling, and kept stuffing small fruits into his mouth. "I think you are too arrogant." Now, if you build such a high platform at home, aren’t you afraid that others will have opinions?”
Li Xinglan laughed, and came to play: "I want to take another look at my country."
Chen Chrome has always been full of drama, and nodded: "King Qi is over 50 years old, and your chance to usurp the throne will come soon. Well, on the second day of boarding the plane, there was a thunderstorm and strong wind with hail, and I was forced to land on the flight number 280 of Xianyang Airport. station building."
In front of the desk made of white marble, Li Xinglan used the original pulp kraft paper he made and a gel pen to read and write with his head down as if traveling through time.
"I always think about the day when I look at these annoying things, and when I suddenly look up in anger, I find you coming to pick me up in colorful clouds."
Chen Rue finished eating, put down the bamboo basket, walked up to Li Xinglan, sat side by side with him, put his arms around his waist, and said in a low voice, "What kind of people have you met and what have you done in the past few years?" ? You must have suffered a lot, I'm sorry I couldn't be by your side."
Li Xinglan shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "I underestimated your strength and didn't trust you. I should apologize."
He raised his arms around Chen Chrome's head, let him lean into his arms, and the two of them read a book together, warmly, and said: "We have no wealth or status, only Zhunti has a room full of gold and rare treasures, It is very difficult to buy a high-ranking official. Fortunately, there are many people in Qi who are full and have nothing to do, so they will take the academic route. They can read minds, influence other people's will, help scholars, and promote restructuring. Some, half-truths and half-fakes mixed up with a principal."
Chen Chrome: "When you first met Tian An, did you plan it?"
Li Xinglan: "No, that's just one of the opportunities. The court of the Qi State is not complicated. Qi Wang Tianjian was under the supervision of his mother for a lifetime. He was almost 50 years old and finally survived until the Queen Mother passed away. Unfortunately, Hou Sheng, the younger brother of the Queen Mother, is still the prime minister. King Qi still doesn't care much about government affairs. I keep Dan Zhu by my side, you know, it's also to find a weakness for myself, and I like beautiful women and treasures, so that I can get close to Hou Sheng."
Chen chrome broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "Beauty?"
Li Xinglan pecked lightly on his lips, continued to write, nodded: "Beauty."
Chen Chrome: "Hmm...beauty."
Li Xinglan: "Hou Sheng introduced me to Tian An as a master. The child has seen me, so of course he is willing. After that, I will rise to the top. There is nothing to say. First I am famous, then I am profitable. After I have money, I start buying properties. The Mohist bunker was an accident, and an espionage agency was built on their basis. There are not many people, but they are all reliable. I still can't find any news about you."
Chen Chrome: "I thought you were about to usurp the throne, and you're still looking for me."
Li Xinglan laughed: "With Mohist, we have information. I rebuilt their tavern and made a mercenary guild. I issued missions, gave rewards, killed zombies, and more or less protected the Qi State. It's safe, and at the same time, you can find the magic weapon."
Chen Chrome: "You are so creative, do you want to see it tomorrow?"
Li Xinglan: "Okay, I thought you would like it. But the common people are still afraid of zombies, so they have no choice but to take the road of religious incitement. It's a pity that Sukla died, no one preached and brainwashed, only Ju Yixin was left to show Miracles, barely, can be considered to have spread.”
Chen Chrome: "Where's the magic weapon?"
Li Xinglan: "There is no progress at all. Some time ago, Nie Zhen took Han Tang to practice overseas and searched for the score of Fuxiqin along the way. Looking for the Nuwa stone in the Qin Palace can be regarded as a clue."
Chen Chrome: "It seems that they are all irrelevant."
Li Xinglan: "There is only one thing I can be sure of. The God Whip is in Qi State, and its secret is only known to the Queen Mother. There is a power in the dark, waiting for you."
Chen Chrome: "Didn't she pass away?"
Li Xinglan: "I used to escort a caravan with mercenaries. On the way back, I met Tian An in the suburbs of Linzi and was hunted down. After I rescued him, I checked it casually and found that there is a lot of articles in it. The killer is Qi. Wang Jian's younger brother Tian Jia sent him here, and he didn't really want to take Tian An's life."
Chen Chrome: "If you don't kill your life, you have to make money? I don't understand, are we all a family?"
Li Xinglan: "The Empress Dowager's son, Tian Sheng, is the eldest son. She is so shrewd. Firstly, she is afraid that the queen will usurp the throne, and secondly, she is afraid that Tianjia will be raped. She only told this secret to her own children."
Chen Ru suddenly realized, and said, "Understood, Tian An is Tian Sheng's son, no wonder you made me so angry with him today."
Li Xinglan: "I hope he will quickly find out the secret of the magic whip."
Chen Chrome: "It's not good for you to be like this, he likes you very much. Give me some candy later."
Li Xinglan nodded when he heard the words, picked up a bowl of fragrant sugar water from the table, and asked, "Drink?"
Chen Ru gulped it down, and quickly stuck out his tongue, "Huh! Why is it bitter?"
Li Xinglan couldn't help but laugh: "You drink too fast, it's sweeter to drink slowly."
A bowl of bitter sugar water instantly aroused Chen Chrome's addiction to drama. He slid down against Li Xinglan while clutching his chest, and finally knocked his head on his thigh and rubbed it back and forth. Dying breathlessly, he devoted himself wholeheartedly and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty...for granting death...evil!"
After all, he buried his head between Li Xinglan's legs, pretending to be dead.
Li Xinglan's head was full of black lines, and his cheeks were slightly red when he rubbed him. He helplessly pinched Chen Chrome's face: "What do you think about all day? There are so many dramas."
Chen Chrome sighed: "How did Sukla die? It's unbelievable, Ju Yixin said, he thinks you have changed, like being possessed by a ghost. But I don't think, you just pretended to be like that."
Li Xinglan: "No, he's right. There are indeed problems with many of my practices. I'm eager for quick success, so I don't care what others say. Baby, I have a plan, and I won't hide it from you this time."
Chen Chrome laughed: "I don't want to know, forget it, I believe you."
January shines on Qianchuan, and the sky is at this moment, and the two spend the whole night on the high platform.
The next day, Chen Chrome slept until the sun was up.
Just like in Bianyang City, he took Beichen, who had nothing to do, to the street.It's just that this time there is an extra Yuan Jiawen. Both of them are tall and big, with white hair all over their heads. They set off each other, making Chen He look like a different kind.
The three of them hooked their shoulders and took to the streets, buying food in the West Market, shopping in the South Market, shopping in the North Market, and shopping in the East Market... they rested their feet and drank water and began to eat.
Under the blessing of Li Xinglan's holy light, the "Sanyuan" tavern in Linzi is several grades higher than the one in Xianyang. It can almost be said to be a four-star hotel in the Warring States Period.Although it is located in Dongshi, the gate is full of cars and cars, and there is an endless stream of idle dignitaries.
The design of the tavern is very peculiar. The north and south sides are the main entrance, but the two halves of the building are very different in style. It's like splitting a hotel and sticking it together.
The north is called "Sanyuan Tavern", which is a hotel business, with wine, catering, accommodation and even musicians and maiko, which is magnificent.
The south side is called "Sanyuan Guild", and it is a desperate business. There are no fancy dishes in the shop, only wine and meat. On several tall walls, there are reward tasks issued based on first-hand information from various places.
The visitor takes off the sign and sits down, the waiter brings wine and meat, registers and checks the information, and pays the deposit and travel expenses according to the requirements.
Most of the visitors are groups of five to seven people, all of whom have registered information in the guild.Of course, you can do it alone, as long as you give a sufficient deposit, and it will be returned together with the balance after the task is completed.
After listening to Xiao Er's introduction, Chen Chrome was amazed, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "You are like mercenaries! The management is so scientific, and every team member, as long as the mission is successful once, will have their own Files. The imperial court doesn’t care about you?”
Xiao Er was about to answer.
Bei Chen was the first to speak out, and said, "Who can control what your man is going to do?"
Chen Chrome shrugged and asked, "Is it all done for money?"
Xiaoer held a ledger and said, "Of course it is."
Yuan Jiawen crossed his arms and looked around.
They were sitting in the best seats on the second floor, with a panoramic view of the entire lobby, and they saw Zhong Ji and Ruan Linzhou walking through the gate at a glance.
Ruan Linzhou didn't look sideways, perhaps because of his poor eyesight, he couldn't see these people at all, only Zhong Jiyao and Yuan Jiawen nodded, and then followed a group of Mohists to the back kitchen.
Yuan Jiawen said casually: "They don't do charity in the first place. They lick blood with knives and work hard. Who will do it if they don't have money?"
Chen Chrome seemed a little puzzled, and waved Xiao Er to go down and rest by himself.
Holding a cup of sweet and greasy warm water, he drank and said, "You also need to have a humanitarian spirit. I know it's not easy for them. But, look at the door, that person is really pitiful."
Everyone looked at the gate, and saw an old man in ragged clothes fell to the ground, holding a piece of broken wood in his hand, with a picture of a middle-aged man crying, "My son..."
Chen Ruo listened intently for a while, and finally understood that the old man's son was also a mercenary, and he went to a city in the Qi State a while ago, but there has been no news of it.
Because it was the first time for their team to do a task in the guild, they had paid a lot of deposit, but this time they would never return, the old man had no one to rely on, and wanted to get back that little money.
"The guild has its own rules. Even if they are dead, failure in the mission is a failure." Yuan Jiawen turned against the light, his eyes were covered with shadows, "The guild didn't blow him away, it's considered humane."
Chen Chrome: "I know that's the truth, but... I'm from 2000, how can I say, Brother Chen, please borrow some money?"
Bei Chen took a handful from his bosom, shook his head and shook his ears: "Ask the shopkeeper, isn't this your family's property? Xiao Er, come here! Your young mistress wants money."
Xiao Er hurriedly ran over: "Hey! Young mistress... eh? Master, what are your orders?"
Chen chrome took a few ingots of gold from Xiaoer at random, with black lines all over his head.
Go downstairs, put it in the hands of the old man, and persuade him gently: "Don't be sad, a little thought, treat it as a pension. I feel very sympathetic for your son's experience, take care of yourself."
The old man got the money, but he still didn't want to leave, he took Chen Chrome's hand and followed him around the wheel.
He always felt that his son was not dead, and hoped that they would send someone to rescue him: "I went to Jimo, a city as big as Jimo, and there was no danger at all. Why didn't I come back?"
Chen Ru persuaded the old man to leave his tongue until he was fuming, with mixed feelings in his heart: "How could Li Xinglan be like this? He's too cold-blooded."
Unexpectedly, a black shadow landed on the ground, rolled over, hugged his thigh and began to cry: "Young mistress... Master, I also have a son!"
Chen Chrome: "..."
Xiao Er saw that his forehead was sweating, and quickly called the shop assistant to send away all those who touched porcelain.Beichen and Yuan Jiawen laughed so hard that they walked out of the shop laughing.
After leaving the guild, the three of them walked around the city and went to the tavern in the north for dinner.
Sitting on the open-air balcony to eat, watching the distant mountains rise and fall, the sun shines all over the capital, and the whole world is a gentle purple.
Chen Ru shook his chopsticks and asked, "Brother Chen, will you go back to Kunlun? When will we go there and borrow things."
Beichen sneered: "Borrow? Take it, Bingzu's, originally it was yours."
Chen Chrome: "Don't say that... I'm sorry, I eat and drink for nothing everywhere."
Beichen was amused by his appearance, took a sip of his drink, and said, "When you want to go, I will naturally accompany you there."
Chen Chrome smirked: "Oh, thank you, I love you."
After all, the three of them began to eat food in silence again.
Chen Chrome noticed that Yuan Jiawen had become more and more silent recently. Although this was in line with his character as a killer, it was still intuitively abnormal.In my impression, the eldest brother's lover has always been very humorous and funny. Although he is occasionally rude, he has a heart that loves life.
Now, it seems to be gray and white, because the eldest brother is gone.
Chen Rue sighed, put a piece of meat for Yuan Jiawen in a bowl, and asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law, what do you think... Brother Chen?"
Yuan Jiawen spat out his drink: "What do you think?"
Chen Chrome scratched his head: "I'll find you a partner. He's also in good shape, and he can be made bigger or smaller. If you like it, you can play with it and let it out."
Yuan Jiawen: "Sister-in-law is not such a casual person."
Chen Chrome laughed loudly: "I didn't see it, do you really want to play with him?"
Yuan Jiawen laughed, shook his head, and said nothing.
Chen Chrome: "You guys, how did you and my brother meet?"
Yuan Jiawen: "At that time, I just escaped from the organization and worked in the bar next to their university. He often came here, but he didn't drink, and ordered a glass of water to eat. I was very disturbed, and I always felt that he definitely saw that something was wrong with me. .”
"Amazing my brother!"
Chen Chrome shook his head, and suddenly squirmed his body close to Yuan Jiawen, leaning his head on his shoulder, and the two cuddled tightly together: "It's so early! I don't know. What happened? In order to keep a comfortable life, you put The virginity was given to my brother?"
Yuan Jiawen only felt that Chen Chrome was soft, and he didn't dare to move a little bit. He coughed twice and said, "No, I later found out that he just wanted to come to eat, eat my steak, pasta, whatever. What, he also thinks the taste of salad is very good. Your brother has a very unique taste. I think he is interesting to me. Of course, I also have a good impression of him.
"But, ask him out, today it's 'No, I want to accompany my brother'. Tomorrow it's 'No, I haven't cooked yet.' Finally I came out once, just chatting and walking and doing nothing. Half way As soon as I got to a dimly lit place where I could do something, the phone rang 'Sorry, my brother is going to make a fuss.' What excuse?"
Chen Chrome laughed silly, hugging him as if to kiss him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The cloud between Yuan Jiawen's eyebrows dissipated, he pushed him away, and continued to eat.
Seeing that Yuan Jiawen was in a better mood, Chen Chrome couldn't help eating two more bowls of rice, and finally collapsed on the ground with a full belch, groping his stomach and refusing to move: "Go back to sleep later, the scenery is beautiful."
This time I slept until it was dark.
Chen Chrome's eyes were still open, so his hearing was particularly sharp, and the words of an unknown dignitary in the distant room drifted into his ears.
Man A: "I heard that Qin has already started attacking Zhao recently."
Man B: "Isn't Wang Jian leading troops? I heard a few days ago that Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe led 20 troops to besiege Handan from Jingxing and Hanoi, and they will reach the capital of Zhao in a few months."
Man A: "There is Li Mu in the state of Zhao, and it won't be able to attack for a while. I hope General Li can carry on for a while longer and drag down the Qin army. Maybe the other countries can take advantage of the fire to loot and beat the barbarians back to the pass."
Man C: "Don't you know that you are from the Qin Kingdom? I heard that they have sent someone to curry favor with Guo Kai, Zhao Wangqian's close minister, and the two are quite close."
Man A: "Guo Kai? General Lian Po was framed by him back then."
Man B: "The world is unpredictable... Forget about drinking, one sip is one sip, come back tomorrow after getting drunk, anyway, if you can't beat our country of Qi."
The sound of wine glasses clinking, clinking and crisp, I don't know what time it is.
Chen Chrome: "Go back, I don't know what happened to Li Hong."
Back to Li Xinglan's mansion, I saw bright lights inside.
Chen Chrome also wanted to tell him what he saw and heard today, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the room, the warriors waiting in line stood in a column at the door of the study, and asked curiously, "What happened?"
The warriors looked embarrassed and bowed their heads in silence.
Chen Chrome peeked in through the crack of the door, and saw Li Xinglan and Zhong Ji sitting opposite each other, with Dan Zhu and Ruan Linzhou behind them.
Fu Shaoyuan was in a state of embarrassment, and he stood up and scolded: "I can see clearly, the clothes, the sword runes, all look like Xianyang Mozhe, how can there be fakes? They robbed our goods, it is not a coincidence I went back twice."
Li Xinglan realized his friendship with Chen Chrome and smiled at him.
Chen chrome was in a bad mood all over, it was not good to eavesdrop on what others were saying, so he left with a blushing face.
Li Xinglan was busy, so Chen Ge walked up to the high platform to enjoy the air alone, and sat astride the outermost railing, watching the clouds drifting by in the sky, the stars and the moon were all dim.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up, and the dark clouds that covered the bright moon dispersed, and the moonlight shone brightly. In the distance, a shooting star shining with golden light hit Chen Chrome.
"Eh?"
Chen Rue was still observing, but the "shooting star" suddenly slowed down when it came in front of it, shaking off pieces of feathers like golden powder, it turned out to be a golden wild goose.
The wild goose hovered in the air for a while, and seeing no one around, it lightly landed on the railing, swayed twice, and glanced at Chen Chrome: "Stupid!"
Chen Chrome wiped his eyes, and threw his head out in fright: "Does the bird speak human language?"
Jin Yan picked up his collar with one mouthful, and it took a lot of effort to hold him steady, and pulled him back, almost tearing off his beak: "Calm down, idiot."
Chen Ru heard the voice very familiar, and finally remembered: "You are Jin Chao? You are that Kunpeng, right? Congratulations, you have finally accumulated enough experience to evolve."
Jin Chao closed his eyes, hit his forehead against the railing, and hit his eyes with gold stars, and then he felt much better, and said, "What have you been thinking about all day long?"
Chen Ru put away the joke, knowing that there must be something wrong with Jin Chao's sudden appearance, Su Rong asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Jin Chao curled his lips, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Thank you so much, that mass of spiritual energy, I... was able to transform into a Kunpeng. But I have never regretted what I did before! I will not apologize to you !"
Chen Chrome was puzzled: "I didn't say I want you to apologize, I think so much. From now on, just be a good bird, just be a good bird. If you can fly so high in the sky, what you see is different from before, right? "
Jin Chao was not strict for a while, flew up and pecked on the top of Chen Chrome's head, and said: "Be careful of the people around you, your man's intelligence network has been exposed."
Chen Chrome: "What?"
Jin Dynasty: "It's good to do it for yourself!"
Chen Ru stood up quickly, but couldn't catch up with Jin Chao, and could only watch him fly away like a shooting star and disappear into the night.
That night, Chen Chrome tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep. He kept his eyes open and waited until dawn. Li Xinglan finally took care of all the trivial matters and went back to his room to sleep.
He immediately told Li Xinglan what Jin Chao said, and discussed with him: "Are you tired? Why don't you go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow."
Li Xinglan shook his head, lay down flat and grabbed Chen Chrome's hand, and said with a smile, "Yuan Jiawen is deeply concerned about Brother Jiang's death, while Beichen has inextricable connections with the Yaozu. Zhong Ji needs to consider the interests of Mohists." The kindness and cruelty with Qin, and Ruan Linzhou..."
"Forget it, take one step at a time." Chen Chrome's emotions interfered with his rationality, making him unable to analyze well, doubting his friends, he really didn't know how to calm down, "You have to be careful, I will also protect you well .As long as you're okay."
Li Xinglan: "It's okay, I've already made the arrangement. You can't believe everything in one word, wait for the other party to strike first, and we will strike later, and we will follow the plan."
Chen Chrome: "You are handsome and you can say what you say."
