Three days later, the sun was shining brightly, and I sat in the pavilion on the lake behind the inn for the rest of my life.
My hands were a little sore from practicing calligraphy for the rest of my life. I put down the pen and looked at the sky. There was only one sun in the sky, and the late spring sunshine fell on my shoulders.
The people were happy that the vision in the sky had disappeared, and were busy in the fields. The wealth and troubles had also passed, and there was a prosperous scene under the Western Mountain.
But only a few people know the price paid to have only one sun appear in the sky.
A flock of geese passed downstream of the pavilion, and the little white fox lay leisurely at the feet of the city lord. The city lord was sitting on the railing, mending a piece of clothing in his hand.
Yu Shiyu was measuring the stone fish left by Lao Yu.
There are several fish underwater, attracted by the lifelike stone fish on the water, wandering around underwater, making ripples in circles.
Faced with such beautiful scenery, the two Mu brothers, who had little interest in it, also lost their chessboards and came here to fish and talk a few games of chess with Yu Shengshou.
The pavilion is now filled with flowers and plants, and even herbs grown in the water have climbed up and bloomed with bright flowers, dotting the pavilion and covered bridge.
Mummy corpses also surrounded the town at first, but fortunately the people escaped by taking shelter in the inn.
It's just that the inn has had fewer guests these days.
Because the evil witch who directed this route escaped at the wrong opportunity, leaving mummies roaming freely in the wilderness, making it difficult for merchants from the south to come.
Of course, even if there are no mummies on the road, there are probably no merchants passing by. In the Southern Wilderness, which was ravaged by mummies, those who survived may not have the energy to do business.
Yangzhou City was able to get rid of the siege of mummies with the help of the Soul-Calling Banner, but they had nowhere to place the mummies in the rest of their lives, so they sent them back to the direction of Blackwater City.
"Now that your mother is trapped and Lao Yu goes north, we just stay here and wait for our enemies to come?" Hei Niu asked.
"Otherwise, how about we come to the door?" Yu Sheng sat on a comfortable armchair, basking in the sun and looking leisurely at the water and sky.
"If something comes to your door, let's run away. Escape to the middle wasteland. It's a deserted land. Even the King of the East Wasteland comes in person and can't catch us." Hei Niu suggested.
"Hey", Yu Shiyu looked away from the stone fish, "Why do you sound so awkward to me?"
"That guy from King Donghuang, if you just call him by his name, then the candlelight is still dark." Yu Shiyu said.
Hei Niu curled her lips, "In the past, you often criticized Sang Huai and secretly demoted the King of Donghuang."
"Hey, I don't like hearing what you are saying." The white-haired old man said unhappily: "The locust tree has offended you, and you point at the mulberry tree and scold the locust tree."
"I'm just following what others say. This idiom was not invented by us dragons." Hei Niu hurriedly clarified the relationship.
She asked Yu Sheng, "That candlelight is not something to be trifled with. Are you really not planning to escape?"
"If you don't run away, if you run away without fighting, won't you ruin the reputation of my leader of the Eastern Wilderness Alliance?" Yu Sheng crossed his hands and looked into the distance.
"Even if I bite with my mouth, I still want to make my enemies feel the pain, and let them know that even if I lose my backer for the rest of my life, I am not something they can manipulate," Yu Sheng said.
The city lord put down the clothes in his hands and poured him a cup of tea, "You should recover from your injuries first. You can't stand up now."
After returning from Yangzhou that day, Cao'er diagnosed him and found that he almost injured his organs, and he would also suffer many injuries elsewhere for the rest of his life.
Cao'er told Yu Sheng that he must stay in bed and rest. Today is the third day. Seeing that he recovered quickly, he was allowed to go out of the room to bask in the sun.
"In the midst of strategizing, we can win a victory thousands of miles away. Even though I am sitting here, I can still make a difference." Yu Sheng caught a glimpse of Zhou Jiufeng entering the backyard and said to the city lord.
Behind Zhou Jiufeng was a person. This person had a long beak and was wrapped in a robe with large gray feather wings sticking out. He was Miao Shiren, the owner of Yangzhou Bank.
"Why did you bring him here?" The city lord looked at Yu Sheng in confusion.
"Facing the candlelight, we are weak and no match, let alone a group of enemies staring at us. We have to use our brains to win over some allies," Yu Sheng said.
"Use your brain?" Everyone looked at Yu Sheng strangely. Yu Sheng used his brain. He actually had a brain?
Miao Shiren came over quickly. Although he had a smile on his face, he lacked the respect he showed when he met Yu Sheng before. "I wonder why the city lord and Mr. Yu invited Miao to come over?"
"When we met before, Master Miao called him Alliance Leader Yu. Why did he change his name now?" Yu Sheng turned back to look at him.
"Ha, wouldn't it be better to call me Master?" Miao Shiren sat next to him, "I heard from Commander Zhou that Mr. Yu wants to do business with me?"
"I've been very busy recently, all with big business, but thinking about Mr. Yu's inconvenience, I hurriedly put down what I was doing and ran over." Miao Shiren said.
In other words, if Yu Sheng hadn't had inconveniences in his legs and feet, he wouldn't have come even if he was invited to visit me.
"Ha", Yu Sheng poured the tea in the cup at Miao Shiren's feet.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Miao Shiren raised his feet and looked at Yu Sheng dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, this tea is too cold. It got cold before I left." Yu Sheng put down the tea cup and Miao Shiren moved his body without saying much.
The city lord poured another cup of tea for Yu Sheng, and Yu Sheng took it, "I invite Master Miao to come here today. I have a fortune to give to Master Miao."
"Wealthy?" Miao Shiren looked at him.
"Yes, but do you still remember the opening of this trade route?" Yu Sheng pointed to Xishan, "I borrowed money from the bank back then."
At that time, the bank's cornucopia was robbed, and the bank did not have much money and was in dire straits, so Miao Shiren refused.
"Master, you want to borrow money again?" Miao Shiren looked at Yu Sheng, "Unfortunately, the bank is short of cash recently."
King Donghuang changed hands three days ago. As the owner of Yangzhou Bank, Miao Shiren knew about it that day, and he knew as much as he had in the rest of his life.
At the juncture when the later King of Donghuang was about to hunt down and deal with Yu Sheng, Miao Shiren did not dare to lend money to Yu Sheng.
What if he runs away? There will be no harvest by then, so it would be strange if the King of the Southern Wilderness didn't kill him.
"Don't borrow money." Yu Sheng looked at the lake. "In terms of investment, the bank will take shares. How about we cooperate to open up this business route and distribute the profits according to shares? If it works, the King of Nanhuang will definitely look at you with admiration. This is not wealth. What is it?"
"Invest, buy shares?" Miao Shiren pondered. Although he had never heard of these new terms, but he dealt with money all day long, Miao Shiren knew what they meant.
After pondering for a moment, Miao Shiren shook his head again, "No."
As long as the new King of Donghuang sends people to cause trouble for Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng will no longer be able to stay in Donghuang, and even the city of Yangzhou will change hands.
After Yu Sheng leaves, this trade route will belong to the bank sooner or later. Why lend money to Yu Sheng before then, what if he runs away with the money?
Of course Miao Shiren would not refuse Yu Sheng like this, so he found the reason just now, "Young Master Yu, I'm sorry, the bank is really struggling to make ends meet, we really don't have any money."
I remained silent for the rest of my life, looking at the lake and seeing a bird flying around above the lake, throwing things in its mouth into the lake from time to time.
If a bird is like this, what should we fear as a human being?
