number one leader

Chapter 53
He glanced around with that gaze, and there was no sign of Chu Sheng. Yang Yuanzhi knew in his heart that it was because Chu Sheng hid himself in order not to lose his prestige.

Such kindness, although small, hit people's hearts directly, Yang Yuanzhi could only keep it in his heart, and secretly made up his mind.

"After I finish this errand, I will return to the army and find a place to be promoted in the future. Such kindness will be doubled!"

It's just that he didn't know that Chu Sheng had secretly planned this trip
Like Chu Sheng, he is a "true" superficial brother, who treats them generously on the surface, but actually has dug a big hole.

But when Chu Sheng climbed onto the shaft of the carriage, he first clasped his fists at the driver as a signal.

The latter actually returned the salute by clasping his fists as usual, such a behavior of knowing the etiquette of the world, it made Chu Sheng look at the driver like a boy.

It's just that this coachman is a drooping old man, about sixty years old, his face is full of weather wrinkles, his eyes are full of wrinkles, he is wearing coarse linen clothes, he opened his mouth to smile at Chu Sheng, and saw the yellow teeth, It should look like an ordinary old farmer.

But an unscrupulous person like Mr. Lai should wish to show his authority and wealth everywhere.How did you find such a coachman?It's just like an old farmer randomly picked from the farm field, he doesn't look like a professional coachman.

Chu Sheng was puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it, and said casually, "It's really hard work this time."

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" the coachman smiled all over his face and returned the salute with his fists cupped, but he couldn't utter a single clear word.

This is a mute.

His heart moved, but Chu Sheng just smiled at the coachman, suppressed this doubt in his heart, and got into the carriage.

Entering the carriage, one could smell a vaguely scented fragrance.This fragrance is strange, Chu Sheng has never smelled it before, he only thinks it is slightly sweet, like a cold fragrance, but he can't remember what it is.His gaze swept across the carriage indiscriminately, but he never saw any censer at all.

And Mr. Lai was sitting in the back of the carriage, looking at the mung bean with his small eyes.Chu Sheng also gave up his deep thoughts, just clasped his fists to salute him, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, Mr. Lai. I am not familiar with equestrian skills, and I am teetering on the back of a horse. It is a joke for Mr. Lai."

"Where." Mr. Lai stroked his mustache, sat on the carriage cushion in a "Ge Youpan" posture, waved his hands indifferently and said: "Although the head of Chu seems to be on the verge of falling, but it is useful to 'send the cross', but the chassis is not good. If you move, you have already touched the knack of riding."

"Those idlers are just noisy people, don't listen to their words."

These words made Chu Sheng's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but take a serious look at Mr. Lai in front of him.But it was very different from the arrogant performance before, as if he was a different person, which was really surprising.

Master Lai could see this look, but he said with a smile: "Master Chu doesn't need to think too much, I have some insights. If I'm just an idiot, how can I win my current position."

This statement is true.Chu Sheng couldn't help but nodded secretly, but when he thought of something, he said, "It's just that I can't figure out something."

"In that case, just sitting around in the carriage with nothing to do is just boring."

"With Master Lai's ingenuity, I should not fail to understand. This escort will rely on Hong Xuan and others to advance together, and Master Lai's safety will be entrusted to the protection of Yang Yuanzhi, but why do you treat them both?"

Mr. Lai raised his eyelids and glanced at Chu Sheng, then said with a smile: "Is it rude or even wanton?"

This was said without any concealment, so Chu Sheng also nodded, and added: "Especially Yang Yuanzhi. I think Mr. Lai can't fail to see that he has great ambitions and real kung fu in his hands." .Although he is proud and arrogant, but he is enough to rely on. Master Lai...Why did he transfer his family's treasured sword directly for the escort fee? So...if it is known to him, it may not be a good thing."

"Heh" Mr. Lai shook his head, lying lazily in the carriage like a toad, "Why? The reason is very simple. I have someone to stand by, so why should I be afraid of others. And the matter of darts is nothing to me. Er, I have long been concerned about it, so why should I care about it. Besides, the knife is not mine, and I don't need to rely on Yang Yuanzhi to protect it, so I just do it casually, just for fun. "

Chu Sheng was stunned when he heard these words, and couldn't help but look at him several times, thinking that if this person is not crazy, then he really doesn't care.

Or maybe...it doesn't mean the real situation at all.

However, he doesn't look crazy and stupid at all, and his performance is not short-sighted.

"Of course, the most important reason is that I just can't understand people like this."

Master Lai squinted his eyes and said: "Maybe the two of them are heroes in your opinion, but in my opinion, they are rude people. They have to fight and kill all their lives. How inferior .”

"Why do you think I called you here? But you have studied for a few years. It is different from them. Maybe you and I have a common language. How can a vulgar person like that understand me?"

Chu Sheng was really speechless, but Master Lai felt very good about himself, and his words were plausible.He really didn't know how to answer, so he had to keep silent.

"Today's Great Xia, I don't know what Master Chu thinks about it?" Master Lai found a topic for himself, and found something completely different from what he should talk about in his image.Let's look at him with a fat body, sitting in the carriage like a toad, a pair of mung bean eyes dotted on his fleshy face, and two mustaches on his lips. Looking from left to right, he looks like a cunning person, but at this time Opening his mouth, he talked about the important affairs of the court, which gave people a very weird feeling.

"I don't know what Master Lai thinks?"

"The rise and fall of a country depends on the emperor." Mr. Lai chuckled and said something that could only be said by "highly talented" people. "Look at that ten years ago, when Yang Wudi defeated Bei Rong in a battle. The whole world is shocked, Daxia is a powerful country in the world. However, the emperor's nature is doubtful. Even if Yang Wudi has the ability to mend the sky, he has handed over his military power, disbanded his armor and returned to the fields. No matter how talented he is, there is no place for him to use it. Today, the Daxia army has been ruined to this point. , Heroes like Yang Yuanzhi also languished in the army, mostly suppressed and never able to make a difference."

Chu Sheng's heart moved, and his eyes fell on Mr. Lai's eloquent face. He thought to himself that he really knew that Yang Yuanzhi was a capable hero, but he still treated Yang Yuanzhi with an extremely bad attitude. It was as he said, looking down on him. A vulgar person?If this is the case, why is there a sigh in his words at this time?

"This is in the army. Let's look at the official face. Daxia is just an eunuch who is nine thousand years old, but he has great power. He buys and sells officials until he is the third prince. This has even ruined Daxia's officialdom. One day's birthday, five states Officials from different places presented plans for birthdays worth as much as 10 taels. There is such money, but it is not good to disperse it to the poor? Well, Fuzhou is in a catastrophe, and tens of thousands of victims are waiting for food. The imperial court only allocates 20 in money and grain What is the use of the road officials' hands and how much they can be used on the victims? How can the victims have pity? And this is the same number as the birthday gifts offered by the magistrates of a prefecture, do you think it is funny?"

Chu Sheng couldn't help correcting his expression, looking deeply at Master Lai in front of him, but he didn't know what to say to him.

Is this person in front of him really the same as the toad during the banquet?

Now that he looks like this, he is completely a person who cares about the country and the people, and who cares about the world.

Moreover, Mr. Lai was originally going to send a birthday message to the prefect of Luolong City, but his words were full of anger and there were many hints in his words.

During this period, what is the intention?
After a pause, seeing that Chu Sheng didn't answer, Master Lai didn't care, but just said to himself, "In my opinion, this Great Xia has already decayed, from the army to the officialdom, from the outer skin to the inner."

"It's such a big summer, but it's better to go, go."

He seemed to be genuinely moved, and wiped his tears with his chubby and greasy hand, and said again: "I know that the head of Chu is someone who has read the books of sages and sages. I wonder if there are any poems?"

"None."

"I am also a person who has studied, but I am not very profound. I once went to Fuzhou for a trip. The place is really tragic, but I have no talent to send poems to sigh. If the head of Chu goes to Fuzhou in the future, I might as well leave a poem. Fuzhou The people suffered terribly, there were bones in the road, and they were eaten by wild dogs, but the world is really difficult, and the suffering should be known to the world."

Chu Sheng faced him solemnly, and after a long silence, he said, "It's natural."

So, there was a moment of silence in the carriage, and after a long while, Mr. Lai said: "You said. If those magistrates lost their birthday cards, and the money was scattered to the victims of Fuzhou? Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Chu Sheng was startled, and suddenly looked up, but saw his fat face shaken, and sighed: "It's just impossible."
