Chapter 543: What to say when we meet again (Part 2)
The breeze and the bright sunshine in the morning made the world feel much wider, and the sounds of busy people came from far away. () When receiving the news that Luan Sanlang and others had secretly arrived in Qingmuzhai, Lou Shuwan was sorting her things out in the room
clothes, and then she walked out and saw the scene of people working in the valley of Qingmuzhai.
Ditches are being dug, roads are being built, houses, small grain fields, and occasional vegetable fields and grain fields. The area near the village gate has been cleared, and some people are reinforcing the walls. It seems that there is also a war.
Lou Shuwan looked at the scene in front of him for a few times, then walked forward.
Regarding the sudden impulse to see Ning Yi yesterday, she had no plan in mind. In a sense, all she could grasp at this time was the lingering doubts and confusion in her heart. Doubts in Ning
Why Yi and Qingmuzhai didn't stop her movements, confusion... I'm afraid it's a little deeper, containing some emotions that even she herself doesn't dare to touch. They sometimes pass through her head, but she can't think more about it.
.
In the original imagination, they should meet in a reasonable way. They would look at each other slightly, but it was not unexpected. He would not repent, and she would silently declare the hatred in her heart to him.
——That was the official declaration of war. Before that, the two sides should have fought several times. However, the current development of things did not go as expected. She went to the yard where Zhu Biao and others were, guessing
She was waiting for where they would take her, but the change occurred earlier than she imagined. When she arrived not far from the courtyard, she saw Zhu Biao and others at the gate of the courtyard, and... the figure in the middle of the courtyard.
.
The back view of the scholar. He was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, talking quietly to a few people next to him, discussing something on the table. The sun was bright, Lou Shuwan took a breath, and walked towards the courtyard as normally as possible.
Zhu Biao and the young man next to him gave way to the door, allowing Lou Shuwan to walk in. Lou Shuwan hoped that the back figure would turn around, but this scene did not happen immediately, but there was a slight collision from behind.
"I want to go in too."
"You can't come in."
Zhu Biao blocked Qiu Guyan, who was responsible for protecting Lou Shuwan. Then the two of them exchanged small moves. After bumping into each other, they each took a step back.
The people in the yard turned around, said something to the person next to them, and stood up.
That face was slightly different from what Lou Shuwan remembered. That was because she had indeed not seen this person for a long time. It was just a glimpse of the little thief's territory, and she could see it clearly at this time. Then it was gone.
When she realized, this was indeed Ning Yi. She raised her left hand slightly and signaled to Qiu Guyan behind her, asking him to wait outside. Across the field of view, Ning Yi's expression was calm and gentle, and he spread his hands towards a room in the yard.
.The sun was shining brightly, but the room seemed a little dark, and there was even a faint chill. Lou Shuwan looked at that face, and all the emotions surged up from the bottom of her heart.
From the first time they met in Hangzhou, Su Tan'er brought her husband here. When she led them around, the other party also had the same gentle expression. They joked and interacted with each other, and gradually learned about his attainments and fame in poetry. To the West Lake
Conflicts and frictions in the world, sudden earthquakes and war disasters, blood, fire and crazy chaos that subverted all previous perceptions of life. He returned to Hangzhou and became a prisoner. They met again, it was almost a chaotic time.
She felt the only warm light in the game.
Then on that day, the second brother arrested Su Tan'er - why he wanted to arrest Su Tan'er, she could never figure it out - he walked into Lou's house, and when they met, the elder brother fell down, and the table he threw away,
He sat in front of his father and talked to him. Until that time, she had not fully realized and accepted the news that her eldest brother was dead. She just looked at the crossbow bolt stuck in his throat. How could he die? How could he?
Would you do this...
However, there was no excuse, and endless chaos and darkness followed. The long, painful, difficult, and dark road, and the fact that she did not die, she sometimes thought it was an illusion...
These emotions and memories surged up from her heart and would block people's throats, so she could only look at him with those eyes - she didn't even realize that she was doing this. Until she entered the room, the other party looked at her.
When he opened his mouth, his first words were like this: "Long time no see, Miss Lou, would you like some tea..."
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. In the room, Ning Yi looked at the woman who stared at him with cold, complicated, and hateful eyes, and slowly considered the words.
"I originally wanted to arrange for someone else to talk to you about the Tiger King matter, but since you are here, we might as well talk..."
"You..." She made a sound. The pain of more than a year passed through her heart, and she wanted to say, "Do you know how many things I have experienced?", but her reason made her say: "You...after Hangzhou,
You never thought... I would still be alive to see you again..."
Her voice was gritted, and Ning Yi looked at her with a gentle expression: "Indeed, there are some surprises... It must not be easy."
"Ha." She opened her mouth, looked at the roof, then blinked her eyes to cool down, "I'm surprised too," she said.
Ning Yi poured a cup of tea on the table in the room and brought it to her. The tea cup was very big. Ning Yi pointed to the chair next to him: "You can sit down and talk."
Lou Shuwan held the cup and sat down on the chair. She looked at Ning Yi walking towards the desk and sneered. The third sentence was: "I underestimated you."
"Well." Ning Yi replied casually. He poured himself a cup of tea and turned around, "It's about the little thief. I didn't see you, but no matter what, I'm very happy to know that you are still alive.
Believe it or not... the situation over at Tiger King looks pretty good. I already know your intention of coming and the conditions you proposed, but the situation here is different from what you think. I can give you an answer today.
Let’s settle the matter.”
Lou Shuwan stared at him coldly: "I'm talking about Qingmuzhai."
"Well, it seems that you already knew it from other people, and your intervention was a step too late."
"What I'm talking about is that the woman named Blood Bodhisattva is your mistress."
Her words were cold, but Ning Yi was also stunned. Then he laughed: "This has also spread, then you will understand what I mean better."
"Haha." Lou Shuwan smiled, sat there holding a tea cup, and looked to one side of the room.
The atmosphere in the room became quiet. Lou Shuwan didn't speak. Ning Yi stood in front of the desk, thinking about the impact of this incident. There were streaks of sunlight coming through the window, and dust was dancing in the light.
He raised the cup and took a sip. After a while, Lou Shuwan suddenly said: "I'm a little suspicious. Do you still remember the conflict with my family?"
"Well, remember." Ning Yi stood there, "It's your second brother's fault. Is he okay? Is he still alive?"
"He is alive and well."
"Impossible." Ning Yi shook his head and put down the cup. "It's impossible. You are slightly stronger than him. If you get up, it means he has collapsed. There are ways to judge people. Your second brother is basically a coward, he...
… He’s not fit to survive in that kind of chaos.”
Lou Shuwan looked at him again and smiled coldly: "Fortunately, I am suitable."
"..."
Ning Yi glanced at her and said nothing, but this glance already angered the other party. Lou Shuwan gritted her teeth, her eyes turned slightly red, and suddenly she grabbed the tea cup and threw it towards Ning Yi, bang
Suddenly, the teacup that was thrown crookedly hit the cabinet far away from Ning Yi and scattered all over the floor.
"I will kill you sooner or later! Ning Yi, I will kill you sooner or later! I will skin you and break your bones! I will make you suffer all the pain! I will kill the people you value! I will make your life worse than death -"
She almost cried and shouted, and then she heard a burst of chaotic movement outside the hospital. Some people shouted: "Get out of the way!" Someone shouted: "Don't mess around!" Apparently Zhu Biao and Qiu Guyan had another conflict.
Ning Yi looked back at the broken porcelain cup on the ground, then walked to the side and took another one, put tea leaves in it, and poured hot water into it.
"Don't be so impulsive. Look, there will be a fight outside." He placed the porcelain cup on the coffee table next to Lou Shuwan, "Sometimes the boss talks about numbers. This is the rule. Try to be calm. I know one time,
When the two guys negotiated, they both went there with sincerity, but they both had loud voices. It was originally a joke, but the guys outside didn't know it, and they started fighting on the spot, and one person died in the end. It was originally a strong alliance, and both of them had something to eat.
, one ended up in jail and the other ran away, so why bother. When you are with Tian Hu, these things often happen, so you should pay attention to the impact."
After he said this, he paused and then said: "Unless you can really skin me and remove my bones now."
Lou Shuwan clenched her hands into fists, her whole body trembling slightly. She stood there for a long time before she recovered. She reached out to pick up the tea cup, but her fingers were burned by the tea, which made her bite her lip. The next moment, she grabbed it.
The cup was thrown towards Ning Yi again. This time, all the tea in the sky was splashed, splashing on her body and Ning Yi's body. The tea cup still strayed far away and broke on the wall. Ning Yi shook
He shook his head and patted the water stains on his body: "Then I won't pour you tea. If you keep doing this, some things won't be discussed."
Lou Shuwan took a breath: "I don't quite understand one thing."
"What?"
"Why didn't you respond?"
"Why no response?" Ning Yi blinked, "You said...reaction? We have a response. Before you, I have already talked with He Shuyuan and the others. I want to arrange for other people to talk to you.
…”
"I'm talking about the reaction outside Qingmuzhai."
"Outside the village?"
"Don't pretend you don't know anything." Lou Shuwan said every word, "Luan Sanlang, Fang Yiyang, Chen Zhenhai... these people, I know you understand, don't pretend you don't know, they will force you to come."
You are in Qingmuzhai..."
"Oh, them, I also know that they will go up the mountain in the next two days." Hearing her talk about this, Ning Yi relaxed his posture and shrugged, "If there is a reaction, maybe... fight."
"Hit?" Lou Shuwan stared at him, "Do you know..."
"Everyone who should know probably knows... fight." Ning Yi nodded.
"Do you know..." Lou Shuwan emphasized her tone, "They came to the mountain to recruit people, to cooperate together, and to form an alliance with Qingmuzhai. Their combined number of people is two or three times that of Qingmuzhai. Qingmuzhai is currently
The situation... is still developing. Do you really want to... fight? Are you encouraging them? What are you thinking..."
Ning Yi spread his hands and his eyes calmed down: "We all know that we are forced to cooperate, to decentralize power, and to join. No matter which one, we will not accept it. Of course, it is okay to accept it. They will join in accordance with the requirements of Qingmuzhai
Villages come one by one and we accept them. If they don’t meet the requirements and want to pull the mountain by themselves, we won’t accept any of them. We thought about it from the beginning. Just fight.”
"But your Qingmuzhai hasn't decided yet..."
"You can't train a good soldier by sharpening the edge of a sword without any pressure at all. Yes, for ordinary people, when the opponent presses forward and the demands are not excessive, it can indeed be negotiated. There are many means that can be used.
But since we have determined that we can’t reach an agreement early on, of course we don’t have to talk about it. We can just treat it as if the talks have collapsed.”
Lou Shuwan's heart has sunk. She heard Ning Yi say over there: "Since we are leading troops to force us here, of course we have to consider what the troops are used for. You have not considered what will happen after the collapse of the talks.
What will happen? Miss Lou, after you have gone through so many things, do you still only think about doing business and negotiating terms? Don’t you think about head-on conflict and bloodshed? "
The air around her became thinner, and her ears rang again. After experiencing so many things, when she saw Ning Yi again, she imagined that she was already on an equal footing with him, fighting wits and fighting with him.
Regarding the situation in Qingmuzhai, she has repeatedly calculated many times, how to negotiate, exert pressure, and game, negotiate terms with Qingmuzhai bit by bit, and maximize her own interests without causing the other party to fall out.
What kind of methods will be used? However, at this moment, the feeling of a huge distance between the two parties suddenly appeared again, because the other party took the chessboard and smashed it towards her face.
"You... lunatics..."
"This is a crazy world, Miss Lou."
*************
The sudden imbalance in her mind lasted for a moment. Lou Shuwan closed her eyes before calming down and thinking of something.
"I know, you did it on purpose, right?"
"What?"
"You did it on purpose! It was the same when you were at Fang La's place, and it's the same here. You did it on purpose. You incited them and wanted them to have civil strife. If a fight broke out, you would help the court solve the problem of the Luliang thieves!"
Lou Shuwan's voice began to rise, and Ning Yi smiled: "It's an idea, but frankly speaking, at this point in time, if you want to attack some people, Lu Liang doesn't care. You, the Tiger King, are the thorn in the court's side."
, I should have operated on him."
"You... you make chaos wherever you go..."
"This is all a misunderstanding." Ning Yi said, "We have talked so much about gossip. Are you really not interested in the Tiger King's errand?"
"you……"
"I have already prepared it for you." He turned around and took out a piece of paper from the desk, "Qingmuzhai does not accept those ideas that want to muddy the waters. Since some people are not satisfied with the current situation, we will
All those who are dissatisfied will be killed. This thing was established on the premise that Qingmuzhai can still exist. Your original idea is no longer possible, so try to accept it. The business is still very affordable. I believe you will accept it.
, but there is one thing you can bring to Tian Hu as much as possible - of course it doesn't matter if you don't bring it - you tell him that we welcome doing business, if you dare to reach out, I will chop off his."
Lou Shuwan held the piece of paper and looked at him.
"No matter what, there is going to be a fight recently. If you can leave, you should leave as soon as possible. After leaving, you have to help Luan Sanlang and the others, send troops to Luliang or do some small tricks in secret. You are welcome to fight, you are welcome to do it
Small actions. A group that can truly withstand storms must constantly go through trials and rectifications internally and externally. You may not understand this."
After saying this, Lou Shuwan stood there without answering. Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "As for the grudge between us, I can completely understand if you want to kill me. But even if it happens again, I will kill your father and
Brother, this is something they did. When it comes to things, sometimes we have no choice. You are in it, and we can only say that it is fate and good luck. Of course, I can't make you feel less resentful or feel better by saying this.
But in reality, you can't kill me. You can't kill me now. When you climb higher with Tian Hu, you will find that you can't kill me even more. Preserving obsession may be a way of life.
But as the old saying goes, sometimes you have to let go, maybe you can live a little easier. You can remember these words."
Lou Shuwan's body trembled slightly, and something welled up from the bottom of her heart. She said coldly, "You killed my father and brother, and you want me to let go?"
"So I said, of course it's difficult. I'm a person who often goes too far in doing things, but personally, I'm not bloodthirsty. I was invited to host you in Hangzhou, so if possible, I still hope you can live as long as possible. But if you
If you continue to pursue me, I won't rule out that I will beat you to death one day." Lou Shuwan saw Ning Yi take out the strange-shaped iron cylinder and pointed it towards her. The black hole was followed by Ning Yi's cold words.
With an inhuman gaze, "Remember? I used it to beat your father to death."
"I will remember it." Lou Shuwan felt that she could no longer suppress the shaking of her body. After saying this, she turned and left. Hatred surged up in her heart, and the sky seemed to be dark.
Half of it.
This meeting had a beginning that she had never expected. It also had an ending that was full of hatred as she had expected, but it was so empty in her heart that it was hard to describe. She knew that she still had a lot to do,
For example, if you inform Luan Sanlang and others of Qingmuzhai's decision, but at the same time you are afraid that the other party will reveal this information deliberately, then Luan Sanlang and others will be directly at a disadvantage during the negotiation, and the illusion of war will continue to repeat.
When it appeared in her mind, she was not afraid of this, but Ning Yi's words suddenly made her feel that she was a woman after all. Even if she had exhausted all her intrigues, the world with that kind of iron-blooded man,
Still a long way to go.
Until this afternoon, she did not leave her room.
On the other side, gossip about the relationship between Lou Shuwan and Ning Yi quietly spread among Zhuji's team because of the bizarre meeting in the morning. Everyone was discussing what was going on between this pretty girl and the boss.
Although the relationship is said to be enemies, they seem to be a bit like lovers.
Zhu Biao told everyone there very understandingly: "There are so many people who have enmity with our boss. It's not surprising that there are one or two like this." He also said: "Brother Ning doesn't do that at all.
If you know how to pick up girls, maybe it’s love that leads to hatred...”
Such gossip was passed around, and Ning Yi occasionally heard it, which was both funny and annoying. In this atmosphere, the negotiations regarding the people entering the mountain have come to an end, and the next step is to fight. Regarding the mobilization before the war
, Hongti had already made preparations with several village leaders two days ago. Unexpectedly, for the necessity of war, whether it was Zheng Ashuan or Cao Qianyong, or the leaders of the fourth village, Peng Yue, and the leader of the fifth village, Han Jing, compared with
Red grapes are much more enthusiastic.
In the past two years, Qingmuzhai has gradually become more wealthy, and has invested a lot in training troops. However, for the sake of business, killing people in the surrounding areas is actually a small matter. For those big villages, they choose an attitude of tolerance and cooperation.
Zheng Ah Shuan and Cao Qianyong are old men in Qingmuzhai. Fortunately, Peng Yue and Han Jing also had a career that they had worked hard for before joining Qingmuzhai. This style of training hard but hiding it is extremely inconsistent with their aesthetics.
It is almost equivalent to the sin of wasting food.
In this way, one stage of the problem seemed to have passed. In the afternoon, someone saw He Shuyuan hurried down the mountain with his entourage. After a while, someone came up the mountain to find Ning Yi and informed him of something.
Ning Yi was thinking about something in the yard at the time. He looked down the mountain and suddenly frowned.
The same news reached Lou Shuwan at this time, and she also walked out of the door. At this moment, a voice buzzed from down the mountain!
"...Great Guangming Sect, leader Lin Zongwu, leads his disciples to protect the law..."
The valley occupied by Qingmuzhai is very large. Due to the large number of people and it being daytime, even if many people shout loudly at the bottom of the mountain, it will be difficult for them to reach the mountain. But the sound came suddenly, deep and deep, and spread suddenly.
Throughout the valley, everyone heard the echo of that sound.
…
"...Great Guangming Sect, leader Lin Zongwu, led his disciples and protectors to pay a visit to Luliang Mountain! Blood Bodhisattva——"
…
"Are you kidding..." whispered...
…
The welcoming voice then came down. It was the woman who was with him every day. She said on the mountain: "Please come in, distinguished guest." This voice rang in his ears and swirled in the empty valley.
…
"Haha." In the courtyard below, Lou Shuwan couldn't help laughing.
…
Ning Yi snapped his fingers and called the person closest to him: "Yuwen Feidu, call someone to prepare all the cannons for me."
He said, turned around and walked up the mountain.
A ghost came out... (To be continued...)
