Chapter One Thousand and Three Face Up to Yourself
When Cao Ziyi returned to Zhao Tiezhu's room, she had an extra drawing board in her hand. Zhao Tiezhu looked at Cao Ziyi in surprise and said, "Ziyi, you don't really want to draw for me, do you?"
"Of course." Cao Ziyi nodded with a smile and said, "We have nothing to do anyway."
"Well... if you want something to do, you can do it." Zhao Tiezhu said shyly.
"for example?"
"For example, let's talk about life, talk about ideals, and then study mechanics and piston motion. Anyway, there are still many things that can be done in the room!" Zhao Tiezhu said.
"Haha." Cao Ziyi smiled and did not answer Zhao Tiezhu's words. Instead, she set up the drawing board and then sat in front of the drawing board with several pencils.
"Should I put on makeup first?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"No need, I'll sketch." Cao Ziyi said and started moving on the drawing board.
Zhao Tiezhu seemed a little at a loss for a moment.
"Brother Tiezhu, I have to go to class!" Li Ling'er opened the door and walked in. He saw Zhao Tiezhu sitting on the bed with a tangled look on his face, while Cao Ziyi was sitting in front of the drawing board, and said a little surprised, "Brother Tiezhu,
What are you doing?"
"Ziyi said she wanted to paint for me." Zhao Tiezhu said shyly.
"Oh, it's so romantic!" Li Ling'er looked at Zhao Tiezhu with envy, "Isn't this the plot of Titanic? Jack also painted for Rose!"
"The paintings they painted were of people taking off their clothes. How can I compare with them?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"But the essence is still the same!" Li Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Didn't someone say that these days, you have to imitate Edison Chen and bring a camera into the house? Brother Tiezhu, you are more retro and just use sketches, hehe
laugh."
"Ling'er, I find that you are getting more and more bold!" Zhao Tiezhu looked sideways at the frustrated Li Ling'er and said, "Believe it or not, my brother has done to you what Teacher Chen likes to do now?"
"Oh, it's better not to do that. Brother Tiezhu, you and Sister Ziyi can have a good romance. I'm going to class!" Li Ling'er chuckled and left Zhao Tiezhu's room. Zhao Tiezhu sat helplessly on the bed with his back against the wall.
superior.
"What agreement did you reach with the bandits yesterday?" Cao Ziyi suddenly asked.
"It's nothing. He just wants to buy goods from me. He originally planned to give me something in exchange, but I didn't ask for his things and just let him take goods from me for free." Zhao Tiezhu said.
Cao Ziyi smiled and said, "Well done. A route to sell goods in exchange for the favor of the Southern King. This is a very good deal."
"Of course." Zhao Tiezhu said with a proud smile, "Now, to be honest, I am no longer short of money. It is not an exaggeration to say that my business is making a fortune every day, so why do I need such a small thing?
Seriously, if we honor his favor, if something happens, we might be able to use the banner of banditry to scare people. That would be great."
"It's just that the bandit is not a simple person." Cao Ziyi said, "When you are dealing with him, you must not underestimate him."
"It's a joke. I despise no one and I can't despise him!" Zhao Tiezhu said sternly, "Being able to blow up and escape from the country under the nose of the National Security Bureau is a great skill in itself. You can still live happily abroad.
When the water rises, you can even conquer a large territory. This is simply something that a man of God can do. I admire bandits very much."
"Well, now Northeast King Zhao Baobao is getting more and more restless. Mr. Zhao hopes that you can stabilize your position in the south. It is best to expand your snobbery outwards. As long as you expand to a strong enough position, then
We can check and balance each other with Zhao Baobao from the north, so that the arrogance of those in the Zhao family who rely on Zhao Baobao to be snobbish will not be as arrogant as they are now."
"Work hard." Zhao Tiezhu sighed, "I am only in one province now. After all, this thing is not in ancient times. It can easily rule the south and the north. Nowadays, playing with the enemy is more difficult.
What I am playing is that resources are the background, and the government will not sit back and watch me grow bigger. The pressure on me now comes from many aspects. Here in the south, the bandits will definitely not let me grow enough to threaten them. Don’t look at the cooperation we are now
Very good, he still owes me a favor. When I can really threaten him, he will definitely not be merciful! And in the north, there is also pressure from Zhao Baobao. Zhao Baobao is not stupid. Mr. Zhao’s ideas, he
I can definitely know, so I can be sure that the current Zhao Baobao will definitely find a way to suppress or even obliterate my Blood Soul Hall. Zhao Kunlun in the previous stage was just Zhao Baobao’s first step to test me. There will definitely be others later.
Recruiting, as well as Qian Sun, Li Zhouji and others, all of these can bring pressure to me. After all, they were the ones who jointly drove me out of China back then. If I become bigger and stronger, my first enemy will be them, no one else.
You can't sit back and watch my development without caring about it. It's really sad when you think about it. It seems that I have offended all the powerful people in China!"
"But you also have an advantage." Cao Ziyi said, "Your advantage is that you can face yourself more seriously than anyone else!"
"I have always thought that I am just an ordinary person. At best, I have better luck and work harder, and then I have everything I have now, but these things are all empty. People can only sleep on a bed. After death,
It’s just a few square meters, if you take yourself too much as a toy, then it really isn’t a toy anymore.”
"You have the biggest advantage!" Cao Ziyi said seriously, "There are many people who support you. Mr. Zhao, Secretary Zhang Yihuang, and uncles and aunts. The support of Mr. Zhao alone is enough to suppress most of the people.
Man, as long as you live, no one dares to quarrel with you in front of you, and no one has the courage to challenge Mr. Zhao’s bottom line. No one in China can fully bear the consequences of Mr. Zhao’s anger!"
"That's true." Zhao Tiezhu smiled triumphantly, "Our old Zhao family, the main lineage, has always produced famous people."
"Including you?" Cao Ziyi asked with a smile.
"Of course, when it comes to counting romantic figures, it depends on the current situation!" Zhao Tiezhu stretched his waist and said to Cao Ziyi, "Why, have you finished the painting?"
"Okay." Cao Ziyi nodded, took the drawing paper off the drawing board, and handed it to Zhao Tiezhu.
Zhao Tiezhu looked at it and said in surprise, "What...what is this? Why does it look so like a bastard?"
"This is Xuanwu." Cao Ziyi couldn't help covering her mouth and said with a smile, "This is an abstract painting."
"Ziyi, you have become bad too!" Zhao Tiezhu looked at Cao Ziyi with resentment on his face.
