668: Reunion (Part 1) [Please give me your monthly ticket]
This is the truth, and Luan Xin naturally understands it.
But he still had a question to ask.
"Wang Chao is so good at making opinions, don't you worry that one day they will come back to bite you?" When Luan Xin asked this question, his expression was calm, but his dark eyes were filled with incomprehensible complexity, "I am criticizing you.
Is he a sycophant who is good at flattery?"
Gu Chi smiled casually and said, "What about the sycophant?"
This rhetorical question almost stunned Luan Xin.
After thinking carefully, he came to the conclusion - as long as Gu Chi doesn't care about his reputation, being criticized as a sycophant really can't cause any harm to him, and he can even live a good life. This is the evaluation of people in the world, let alone future generations.
evaluation of?
"The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden." Luan Xin looked straight into Gu Chi's eyes for a moment, not allowing him to dodge or hide, and said sonorously and forcefully, "Watch the tide and don't be afraid of a sunset like this.
The end? The end of a sycophant is never good."
Gu Chi smiled: "Are you worried about justice?"
Luan Xin did not give an answer.
Gu Chi didn't care either.
He actually made a surprising statement: "Can't a dead rabbit be cooked like a dog?"
Luan Xingtong Kong Earthquake: "???"
"The world is settled, and the advisers are dead. If so, it is a good sign that the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked. Righteous, it is not my wish to have such a scribe. If one day we really end up with the end of the bird, it will be the best.
It's fate." Gu Chi's eyebrows were no longer depressed, only open-minded and relaxed, and a trace of smile appeared in his eyes, "Besides, she is the master and will not do this."
Luan Xin only thought this sentence was absurd and funny.
How naive is this?
He couldn't believe that these words came from Gu Chi.
Luan Xindan said in a calm voice: "You can't see through people's hearts by looking at the tide."
Gu Chi retorted: "It's Zhengyi who can't understand the Lord."
Luan Xin: "..."
He guessed that Gu Chi would be Shen Tang's die-hard fan. Putting aside whether he would take this Amway or not, Luan Xin wanted to know an answer very much now. He asked: "Gu Wangchao, in this case, what about Wen Yangong?"
, was it also your instruction?"
Gu Chi pretended to be dumbfounded: "What?"
Luan Xin: "Did you instruct Wen Yangong to die?"
Gu Chi said with an innocent look: "Wen Yangong committed suicide, how could it be that Chi ordered it? Justice can't kill a few soldiers who violated military discipline just because Chi made an independent decision, and then framed things that couldn't be done with eight poles.
Chitou, you are so unjust."
Luan Xin's expression clearly showed disbelief.
He suddenly mentioned something: "I believe I heard something - that day when we attacked Xiaocheng, it was you who ordered the cold arrows to be fired at Gongxi Qiu!"
Taking a closer look, Gu Chixia has a lot of evil hands.
Gu Chi clasped his hands in his sleeves and said confidently: "Why don't you inquire completely when you are just asking? That day, Chi ordered Shouxing to assassinate Gong Xiqiu, but Wen Yangong on the city wall also ordered people to shoot cold arrows at the lord. If it weren't for Gong Xiqiu's gang,
Block it..."
Speaking of this, Gu Chi felt a toothache.
The two of them help each other catch cold arrows in front of the formation. No matter how you look at it, it is outrageous. It is unprecedented if not unprecedented.
Gu Chi failed to achieve his goal and even made a mess.
Luan Xin understood: "So you have murderous intentions?"
Gu Chi didn't understand, and asked: "Why is Zhengyi so sure that Chi did this? Wen Yangong committed suicide, and Wen Yangong's wife can prove it. It's obvious that he was afraid of the Qiu family's elder Qiu settling the accounts, and he was panic-stricken and frightened.
Those who draw their swords and kill themselves out of fear..."
Luan Xin naturally wouldn't believe it.
"On the day when the ransom money arrives, you order someone to send a message to Wen Yangong - 'The Qiu family has sent the ransom money, and they will send someone to escort Wen Yangong and his family there tomorrow.' Gu Wangchao, can you explain this?
What does 'tomorrow' mean?"
Gu Chi looked calm on the surface, but underneath his scalp was slightly numb.
He didn't expect that Luan Xin would be able to find out the clues when he acted so secretly, but Qiu Cheng's other former ministers were not aware of it at all. He continued innocently: "Isn't tomorrow just tomorrow? How come it has become the ironclad evidence that Chi Zuoyi forced Wen Yangong to death when it came to Gongyi's mouth?
"
Luan Xin: "It was precisely because of the urgency of time that he misled Wen Yangong into thinking that the Qiu clan chief would persecute him. He guessed that he was sent not only ransom money, but also a urging letter. With such a hint, he would draw his sword and kill himself in fear. Gu Wangchao
, yes or no?”
Gu Chi: "..."
When it came to this, he stopped pretending and showed his cards.
Anyway, he helped the lord take more than one blame.
One more person can't kill him.
The curve at the corner of Gu Chi's lips disappeared little by little, replaced by a cold and ruthless expression: "Yes! So what? Zhengyi thinks Chi did something wrong? Wen Yangong shot the lord in front with a cold arrow!"
Luan Xin clenched his hands in his sleeves: "He has lost. There is no possibility of a comeback if he is sent back to the Qiu family. He will not pose any threat to the lord at all. He asked for ransom money and forced people to die. Wang Chao was not afraid of the revelation, but was implicated.
Lord’s reputation?”
Gu Chi has a very bachelor attitude.
"When the day comes, I should apologize."
Gu Chi also glanced at Luan Xin out of the corner of his eye and quickly looked back.
Tsk, now I finally understand where Luan Xin’s heart is.
I'm not afraid of enmity, but I'm afraid that I won't know when the enmity will be forged, and like Qiu Wenyan, he will die in chaos.
"In his position, he seeks his position." Gu Chiqiu straightened his back and spoke eloquently, "Yiyi should understand this truth better than me! I look at Wangchao and act with no regrets in my life. If Zhengyi wants to seek revenge for his old master,
, you can send your horse over here!"
Whoever gives in first will be the grandson!
Luan Xin spat out word by word: "Gu! Chi!"
Gu Chiyun said calmly: "Chi can't say that he will definitely win, but it doesn't matter if he loses. Anyway, there is only one person in the whole family. Even if he is completely defeated and his family is exterminated, he will only have one life!"
See, there are advantages to being a bachelor, as you can act without worries.
The advantage currently lies with him, so there is no need to panic.
Luan Xin didn't know whether to be angry or relieved when he saw Gu Chi acting like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Wen Yangong was kind to him, and he helped him plan for several years to repay his kindness. After getting along with him, he had some feelings for him. The other party was not a good lord, but he was not a failure either. In his opinion, Wen Yangong's defeat was the general trend.
, is an inevitable event in this world, the difference is sooner or later, but it will not lead to loss of life.
It had been suspected that it was the lord Shen Tang who was responsible.
Luan Xin tried again and again, and the test required long-term contact and communication with Shen Tang, and even a heart-to-heart talk. He admitted that he was shaken in the process, and even uncontrollably found reasons for himself. Qiu Cheng's death was not ordered by her...
When the truth came to light, he no longer had to waver, let alone face the difficult question of how to make a choice as Shen Tang was the murderer.
Luan Xin: "Sooner or later you will suffer the consequences."
A literary scholar should not trust anyone with all his heart.
Shen Tang was the first to realize that Luan Xin and Gu Chi were having a relationship, just one day apart. Guess how she knew? Gu Chi, who was still harassing people at Luan Xin's house on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, came to be single with her on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
They barked at each other: "Did you guys break up?"
Shen Tang was hiding and preparing to cook a small hot pot.
When Gu Chi came over, she could only bear the pain and divide half of it out.
But you need to prepare additional ingredients for two people.
The meat slices on the table are all sliced by her hands.
The slices are crystal clear. You can pick them up and put them on the bottom of the prepared pot to rinse them in a few seconds. The taste is absolutely fresh and tender.
She also made shrimp paste, peeling the shrimps with her own hands and pounding the shrimp meat with her own hands. When Gu Chi came over, Shen Tang was carrying two silver-white copper maces weighing about 100 kilograms, pounding a piece of pork rhythmically.
It was originally supposed to be beef, but cattle were rare, and Shen Tang didn't want to make the cattle lame or go crazy and die just for the sake of a temporary appetite... so he made do with pork.
Gu Chi put his hands in his sleeves, waiting for the ready-made food.
He asked: "What do you mean by breaking up?"
Shen Tang: "We're not breaking up. You're still eating, drinking and staying at his house right now. Or is he unable to bear it and kicking you out?"
Gu Chi almost choked.
"Conscience of heaven and earth, Chi clearly suffered an unreasonable disaster for the lord!" He didn't just eat and drink and live there, it was clearly to be wary of Luan Xin and to get more information. Everything was for the lord, so she was better,
And harm yourself.
Shen Tang pounded the pork while listening attentively.
After listening to Gu Chi, she put down her mace.
He washed his hands carefully, put the beaten meat into a copper basin, pinched out round meat balls, and put them one by one into the soup prepared by the chef. He replied distractedly: "That's it, no wonder.
Zhengyi always had a tight-lipped look, and I tried several times but couldn't pry his mouth open. I didn't expect that he would discover the clues about the death of the veteran Sepi rookie... It was indeed my fault that exposed my fault. However, I hope
Chao, you don’t think you suffered an unreasonable disaster, who wrote ‘die’ on the palm of your hand at that time?”
Shen Tang wrote it, and Gu Chi also wrote it.
The two of them worked together, and no one was innocent.
Gu Chi almost had a heart attack: "Lord!"
They are not innocent, but the hatred is on him!
"Master, aren't you worried about Chi?"
Shen Tang smiled and said: "Why are you worried? He has already stepped down for you. Isn't that the saying 'you will suffer the consequences sooner or later'?"
Luan Xin believed that Gu Chi would kill himself sooner or later if he was so naughty. There was no need to make any plans at all. He only had to add fuel to the flames at the critical moment. His attitude towards revenge was quite negative.
In fact, without covering up, Gu Chi would be unlikely to fall behind.
Gu Chi couldn't help but said sourly: "...My lord, you can really rest assured. If Luan Gongyi hadn't convicted Chi by mistake yesterday, then sooner or later this debt would have fallen on the lord. With such a hidden danger, lord
I'm not worried at all..."
How much does the Lord like Luan Gongyi!
"worry about what?"
"Worried about his disloyalty."
"I don't mind whether he is loyal or not. To put it more clearly, it doesn't matter where his heart is, it's where his body is. So what about spiritual betrayal? As long as you can't fault what you do." Shen Tang smiled openly, "
He was still shaken."
Gu Chi: "???"
Shen Tang said: "You have only been with me for more than a month before you are shaken. After many years, how can you still have different intentions? Even if the old rookie Sepi is really dead and white, how can a dead person fight against a living person? Moreover, Wangchao doesn't feel that watching the tide
It is extremely interesting for such a person who attaches great importance to love and justice to struggle and waver for himself and fall into the quagmire of worldly emotions? Even if he betrays me, he will suffer endless suffering in his heart..."
The more emotional you are, the easier it is to be influenced by emotions.
Gu Chi: "...I sympathize with Luan Gongyi."
The previous protagonist was a scumbag, and it was obvious that he was a scumbag.
The current protagonist is a scumbag, and she is so scumbag that no one can guard against her.
"...Perhaps Chi should sympathize with himself first."
Shen Tang has prepared the hot pot ingredients.
He smiled and said: "Fresh hot pot, I apologize to you."
Shen Tang asked Dong Chu to prepare two kinds of pot bases early in the morning, one with fungus soup and one with spicy soup, and the seasonings were as rich as possible.
Gu Chi knew Jungu soup, but not spicy soup. He recognized it carefully and said, "Master, how do you add fragrant powder to the soup?"
There are chili peppers nowadays, but they are mostly ground into powder and used as fragrant powder. Shen Tang accidentally discovered this from Shen Zhi.
Shen Tang explained: "This is chili pepper. Drinking it can warm you up, but if you have a bad stomach, you should avoid touching it as it can easily make chrysanthemums spicy."
After listening to Shen Tang's many thoughts, Gu Chi knew the other meaning of chrysanthemum. He immediately twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, still wanting to die. He chose the spicy soup and took a tentative taste. In an instant, the spicy taste hit his brain and the tip of his tongue.
It was hot, painful and numb, and a ball of fire rushed down his throat to his internal organs. He coughed for a long time and drank the goat milk handed over by Shen Tang to feel better.
"If you're not used to it, try changing the bottom of the pot."
Gu Chi refused: "No need."
While being so hot that my eyes were misty, I was squeezing it hard.
Shen Tang: "..."
Shrimp noodles and pork balls are Gu Chi’s favorites.
He enjoyed the hotpot at Shen Tang's side for several days, from the fifth to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and successfully experienced what chrysanthemum fire is.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the official office was unsealed, but Gu Chi was nowhere to be seen.
When Qi Shan asked, Shen Tang said: "I ate so much spicy hot pot that I had a stomachache, so I took half a day's sick leave early."
I love vegetables and food.
Qishan: "..."
Luan Xin: "..."
After work started, everyone became even busier.
Those who are strong will basically start with half-heartedness.
The main character Shen Tang takes the lead.
After all, there is not much time left for them.
The first priority is spring plowing. If it is delayed, it will mean that the harvest of Sibao County this year will be affected. The sharp drop in field taxes is only one of them. What is more serious is the increase in food pressure, and more people will starve to death. Without food, many things will happen.
It can't be done.
This is not what Shen Tang wants to see.
Everyone also knew that she valued farming and did not dare to delay.
Hurry up and hurry up, some things finally come to an end before spring plowing.
For example, field records, planning, land reclamation... Luan Xin and Gu Chi were still cooperating on this matter. At that time, no one was embarrassed. For example, the nationwide physical examination was conducted by Dr. Dong and Luan Xin, who selected good seedlings.
They were all sent to Longwu.
Another example is the optimization and experimental planting of cotton seeds. With the buffs of Shen Zhi and Lin Feng, it took more than 150 generations to finally obtain a batch of relatively stable drought-resistant, large-boll cotton seeds, and other varieties are still there.
During the experiment, we also got some insights. The quality alone was good, but when combined with one cotton seed, the progress was not ideal. Luan Xin was also involved in this matter.
He has to go on duty at the government office every few days.
Luan Xin felt that [Half-heartedness] was not enough.
The second step is to prepare for war.
Prepare the food, fodder and soldiers needed for the expedition.
Who goes into battle and who stays behind to look after the house needs to be considered.
Shen Tang didn't want to think about it so early, but——
"Huang Lie sent a letter informing us of the time for the meeting. It seems that he wants to make a final effort and end it."
