The lights illuminated the Earth Temple, and Lian Xiaoqiang used her sleeves to brush away the dust on the altar.
In the troubled times, there was no one to worship, the temple was dilapidated and the dust was so thick that it was impossible to wipe the sleeves clean. Even Xiaoqiang didn't mind sitting in front of the Earth God and conveniently tucked the mirror under her butt.
"She didn't look at you the first time, and of course she won't look at you the second time." He said, "Why is such a smart person like you so stubborn?"
Lian Xiaojun said: "The first time she didn't know my talent, so she didn't look at my appearance. Now that she knows my talent, she should be able to see my appearance. Why did I pour her tea?
She smiles and gets distracted when I talk to her."
Many times he would just sit there, and the people opposite him would not turn their eyes or hearts away.
This was the first time that I saw Lian Xiaojun worried about his appearance. In the past, even when he was stolen or robbed and got into trouble, and his family complained because of his face, he didn't feel bothered at all.
Lian Xiaoqiang gloated: "Because Mrs. Chu is more beautiful than you." At this point, she became curious again, "Have you seen her face this time?"
"There is no curtain, only gauze, and I can only see one pair of eyes." Lian Xiaojun shook his head, thinking about those eyes, and smiled slightly, "It is indeed beautiful, just like seeing my eyes in the mirror."
As he said these words, some thoughts seemed to flash through his mind, and even Xiaoqiang interrupted with a laugh.
He said: "When you beauties look at beauties, they look like stones and rubble."
"Why does she like Han Xu?" Lian Xiaojun thought about this question seriously.
"Because Han Xu is an official of the imperial court." Lian Xiaoqiang curled her lips and answered casually, "It can bring convenience to her."
"Official status and convenience are just business." Lian Xiaojun said, "Han Xu gave her rice, food and money, and I also gave it to her."
Lian Xiaoqiang didn't want to think about this and asked anxiously: "Then after you talked about our business, did she agree?"
Lian Xiaojun took out Mrs. Chu's seal and said, "I agree."
Lian Xiaoqiang was overjoyed: "That's it!" He took the seal with both hands and turned it over, looking in disbelief, "Is such an important thing really given to you? What else are you thinking? I just like you.
!”
Lian Xiaojun said: "When she heard that Han Xu was assisting Jiangling Mansion, she immediately helped Han Xu, but she told me that she would kill me if we couldn't do business."
"Maybe after she helps Han Xu, she will kill him." Lian Xiaoqiang said perfunctorily, not wanting to waste time discussing these matters anymore. The cooperation has been reached, and how to do this business is the most critical thing.
If the business fails, you will naturally die.
He sat up straight and looked at Lian Xiaojun: "Are you really going to sneak into Yangzhou City?"
Lian Xiaojun said: "For the previous business, I got a secret tunnel dug by the wealthy businessman in Yangzhou City, and I can use it now."
Lian Xiaoqiang said: "Can you really convince Ma Jiang? Ma Jiang is at the end of his rope and is crazy."
"How will you know if you don't try." Lian Xiaojun smiled, turned and walked out, "I'm going, just be prepared to wait."
Lian Xiaoqiang sat cross-legged in front of the statue, watching the beauty fluttering towards the night like a beast's mouth, thinking that not long ago he was trapped in the small courtyard of his home, and he could only step out of the house in more than 20 years.
Even Xiaojun planned to stay like this for the rest of his life because it was too dangerous to step out of the house.
The current world is more dangerous than before, but he has no fear at all and can navigate this dangerous world with ease. Who made him become like this?
She is Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu is a beauty, and she is doing the most dangerous things in these troubled times.
Lian Xiaoqiang turned to look at the dilapidated statue of Lord Tutu behind her, and asked: "Do you think this is heroes cherishing each other or beauties cherishing each other?"
The Lord of the Land would not answer his words. Now everyone is fleeing for their lives and living in a precarious position. There is no incense to worship, and the gods are extinct.
Ma Jiangku was sitting in the hall, not thinking about praying to God or worshiping Buddha, his expression was desperate and ferocious.
"Sir, there is still no news of reinforcements." A general whispered, and quickly added, "Now that Yangzhou is surrounded on all sides, the Chu Lady's troops must have cut off the road, and the messengers may not have been sent out yet.
"
Do you still use messengers to send news here? Why lie to yourself? Ma Jiang sneered: "That bitch has already shown off the news to everyone in the world."
How could Ande Zhong not know? Ankangshan must also know, but what's the use? The father and son will not send troops to rescue him. For beasts, useless things must be thrown away.
The general naturally knew it, but he just didn't dare to say it. Since Ma Jiang had exposed it, he gritted his teeth and took a step forward: "Sir, surrender. Mrs. Chu is not bloodthirsty."
Ma Jiang sneered: "Mrs. Chu is not bloodthirsty, but I will die."
Mrs. Chu does not need to kill the others. Mrs. Chu must kill him, the Huainan Road observer who had surrendered to the rebels early in the morning and had countless blood on his hands, in order to comfort the soldiers and people of Huainan Road and deter the rebels.
How could he risk his own death for the sake of others' immortality? It would be better to let others die, which might give him a chance of survival.
Ma Jiang stood up and said harshly: "Let those people be human shields and let that bitch kill them."
He was originally a civil servant. He only gathered military power after becoming an observer. He has always been known for being timid and cautious. It was not until the Ankang Mountain rebellion that he really picked up the sword. Although he killed not many people with his own hands, those who died in front of him and under his orders
There are countless people under it.
Now he doesn't feel uncomfortable with killing people. On the contrary, he is very excited to watch his life being taken away one by one.
Ma Jiang's eyes were red after not sleeping for several days: "I want to pull them to the city gate and tell Mrs. Chu that as soon as the soldiers and horses attack, they will be killed."
He laughed several times.
"It is said that the rebels slaughtered the city ferociously, and the Lady of Chu, who is known as a compassionate goddess, can also massacre the city. It is the same for everyone. No one can pretend to be a good person."
Although it sounds crazy, maybe the lady of Chu who was killed really retreated? This lady of Chu has built a reputation as a fairy for so long and is always reluctant to destroy it.
The general thought, of course it is impossible for the troops to retreat completely. As long as they retreat a little, they will have a chance to break through and escape.
He gritted his teeth and said yes, and was about to turn around and walk out, when someone ran in from outside the door.
"Sir, Lian Xiaojun is here." He said.
Ma Jiang was stunned for a moment: "Who is Lian Xiaojun?"
And why did you use it? Instead of asking for a meeting? What does it mean to come?
The general has already seen a young figure outside the door. In the dim green light, his black head and snow-white face can be vaguely seen...
He was stunned even if he couldn't see clearly, let alone looking closer, the general saw the confusion on the face of the person who came in to report.
He was so drunk that he brought someone here without telling him.
If this is Mrs. Chu's assassin, your Excellency will be in danger.
Ma Jiang also thought of it and became furious: "Behead him."
Whether it's Lian Xiaojun or the soldier who reported the news.
The general looked at the looming figure and couldn't help but turn around and whisper to Ma Jiang: "He is Zhang Qing's male favorite..."
Ma Jiang was stunned for a moment and then remembered that someone came to tell him this as a joke for Zhang Qing.
He didn't take this seriously at that time, nor was he angry with Zhang Qing. Now he was already furious and became even more furious after hearing about it.
Ma Jiang shouted angrily: "Kill him!"
The general quickly stopped him again: "Maybe Zhang Qing asked him to come. Although Zhang Qing was defeated, he led his troops and escaped in time."
He's still alive now, so he might be able to help.
Zhang Qing only had a few soldiers, and Ma Jiang was disdainful, but...he still put away his anger and snorted.
The general waved to the soldiers kneeling on the ground: "Master Lien, please come in."
The soldiers responded yes.
The general watched him walk out the door with a look of admiration, gratitude and joy, and saluted Lian Xiaojun.
"It's true as the young master said, you won't kill me. Thank you very much, young master. You don't have to die with me."
The general was astonished. He was obviously the one who saved him! Are you still regretting that you didn't share the same fate with him?
The general couldn't laugh or cry, but the soldier was now fascinated?
Lian Xiaojun returned the salute to the soldiers and walked in.
The general straightened his expression quickly, straightened his back, and showed a majestic demeanor.
