virtuous king

I dreamed of Meng Zhang Shenjun again, this man held my sleeve tightly in the dream, just opened his mouth and spit out the word "degree", my body suddenly spun, and then my eyes turned black, and I fell straight down .

I was jolted awake by Liu Yanqing.

Half-dream and half-awake, I vaguely heard Mengzhang Shenjun's angry growls slipping out of his throat, he shouted at me: "Last time it was Sixteen and Old Eighth, this time it's Little Twelve, you still Can you take care of your own backyard! This dream is really untenable!"

I really want to tell him that I am also very sad that this happened.

Opening my eyes, I saw Liu Yanqing grabbing my shoulder and shaking it violently for a while, I was trembling even when I said: "Yanqing, don't shake it, the king is a little motion sick."

Sure enough, Liu Yanqing stopped shaking, looked at me suspiciously, and said, "Motion sickness?"

I couldn't explain such a modern vocabulary to him, so I simply changed the tone and asked instead: "That's fine, what are you doing to me?"

Hearing this, Liu Yanqing's eyes showed a rare embarrassment, and he took two steps back from my side, Fang softly said: "Your sleeping posture is very poor, your whole body is spread out there like soft mud, and you can hardly detect your sniffling. Didn't I shake it because I was afraid that you would die?"

I was taken aback for a moment, and felt a little sad: "Yanqing, at least I have to stay in this mortal world for five or ten years, and I can't run away. From now on, you can let me sleep well." .”

Liu Yanqing's expression darkened, and he didn't answer my words.

At this time, it was just before dawn, and it was less than half an hour before Liu Yanqing and Tian Zifeng made an appointment to lobby the big households in the city, and it was too late to make up for it, so I pondered for a moment, put on my clothes, and turned my head Go and ask Liu Yanqing: "Which household do you want to go today?"

Liu Yanqing said: "Boss Yuan is leaving today. He is the leader and the most stubborn. As long as he can be explained, the rest of the family will be able to deal with it."

I carefully chewed the three words Boss Yuan in my mouth, frowned and said, "What kind of business does Boss Yuan do?"

"He has a lot of business. There are three pawnshops, five jade wares, two silk shops, and at least seven or eight antique shops. Boss Yuan is really rich and powerful."

Halfway through Liu Yanqing's words, he suddenly stopped.

I said: "What's wrong?"

Liu Yanqing sat on the bed, bowed his head and said to me: "I just thought about it deeply, and I remembered one thing. Did Zhang Yuan not die at the beginning? With his greedy life and fear of death, if there is no way out , how could you plead guilty so happily."

I said dumbly: "Yanqing, you are really too smart, with you, I look like a fool."

Liu Yanqing laughed, and said coolly: "I'm not very smart either, it's just that you are too stupid."

I was choked by his ridicule, blushed, and said angrily for a while: "You are dying? Why are you talking to this king!"

Liu Yanqing immediately put on a cowardly expression, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Highness, forgive me, Yanqing knows he was wrong."

While Liu Yanqing and I were chatting and bickering, He Yunli knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness, Governor Tian has arrived. Look...who is going today?"

I turned my head to look at Liu Yanqing where the old god was there, and sighed, "Let me go with Yanqing, Mr. He, please wait in the hotel and help me keep an eye on those carts of money for disaster relief."

I dare not let Liu Yanqing leave alone again. The ancestor only went out for a while, and rumors that King Qi is a rabbit spread in the city. It's better to let him stay in the hotel and stare at Yinzi carefully than to stay by my side and stare at me carefully.

I guess He Yunli is already writing notes for Chu Hong.

"Let's go." I said, stood up and supported Liu Yanqing, he walked to the front hall, and looked up to see Tian Zifeng standing there alone, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Tian Zifeng didn't bring any messy children here today.

"Master Tian has been waiting for a long time, let's go now." Liu Yanqing straightened his clothes, walked forward a few steps, and said with a smile: "Boss Yuan released the food earlier, and there will be fewer hungry people in the city."

Tian Zifeng rolled his eyes, lowered his head and took a sneak peek at Liu Yanqing. From his appearance, it seemed that Qi Wang was a little surprised that he could say such words of concern for the country and the people. After a while, Tian Zifeng noticed that I was following behind Liu Yanqing, and raised eyebrows. Shake: "Your Highness, this... this..."

Liu Yanqing thoughtfully said: "His surname is Du."

Tian Zifeng sighed, and hesitated: "Your Highness, is Mr. Du going too? This, this is unnecessary."

Liu Yanqing grabbed mine with his hands hidden in the big sleeves of his toga, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "He is very stingy, he is afraid that you will push people around me again, so if you insist on following me, Lord Tian will laugh at you."

When Liu Yanqing said this, his face was paler than usual, and he looked like he was struggling. I stood there bowing down, trying to break free from his hand, but before I could make any effort, I was caught by him. Made a firm grip.

I sighed, wrapping his hand in my palm instead.

Only by looking back at you, I think about the future and the evening of you.

Liu Yanqing, Yanqing, it would be great if you were Yaoguang.

It’s not cold when it’s snowing, but it’s really cold when it’s melting. It just so happened that there was a strong wind again today. I was walking side by side with Liu Yanqing on a small road, and a ball of snow with icicles was blown by the wind. , People who blow straight can't open their eyes.

I raised my hand to protect Liu Yanqing in my arms, and looked down, only to feel that his face became more blurred in the wind and snow.

After turning a few turns, I walked in front of a shop, and saw a thin man in his early 30s standing at the door waiting. When the man saw me, he let out a slight surprise.

Zhang Yuan once mentioned to me in his letter that the place where he does business is Suzhou. I looked up at the heavy plaque above my head and made a plan in my heart.

Yuan Mansion, Yuanzhang Pawnshop, the rich and powerful boss Yuan, most likely is Zhang Yuan.

I was still worrying about how to lobby this iron cock, but now I don’t have to worry——Zhang Yuan’s life is in my hands, not to mention opening a warehouse to release food, that is, dissipating the family wealth, as long as I give an order, Zhang Yuan will die Can't say a word.

I was concentrating on my thoughts, and Tian Zifeng stepped forward behind me, and smiled at the man at the door, "Boss Yuan, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are getting more energetic."

After hearing Tian Zifeng's greeting, I was shocked and said, "How can you be Boss Yuan?"

Originally, such a gaffe was very disrespectful according to my current status, but I couldn’t take back what I shouted out, so I had to lower my head under Tian Zifeng’s suspicious gaze. .

Fortunately, Liu Yanqing reacted quickly enough. Seeing me standing there with my head drooped and smiling silently, I immediately cleared my throat with my hands behind my back, put on a protective look, and said loudly: "Did you not hear Mr. Du's question? My lord I heard that Boss Yuan is a fat man, and you are as thin as a monkey, how could it be him?"

The man frowned and looked at me, then turned his head to look at Liu Yanqing, and finally bowed his hands to Liu Yanqing, explaining: "This is His Royal Highness King Qi, I am ashamed to say that Cao Min is from the north, and he only came to Suzhou last year Those who are in business, who would have thought that they would become so thin in just one year if they were not acclimatized to the environment."

Hearing this explanation, I couldn't help being stunned. Then I thought of Zhang Yuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was so fat that he was as wide as the front, back, left, and right sides a year ago. I was in a daze for a while.

Judging by his appearance, he must have lost more than a hundred catties.

There is a saying that it is easy to do things when you meet acquaintances, and it is easier to do things when you meet smart acquaintances. After Boss Yuan's identity was confirmed, Liu Yanqing just stood at the door and said a few words, and Boss Yuan was willing to pluck his iron cock. On the side, Boss Yuan, who had been unwilling to let go for the first two days, suddenly became so forthright, as if he had some doubts about life.

After negotiating, Boss Yuan sent us back respectfully. During the period, his small eyes occasionally caught sight of the hand that Liu Yanqing and I were shaking, squinting and smiling like a thousand times.

The following visits went very smoothly. Boss Yuan, who is stingy, opened a granary under the coercion and lure of His Highness Qi Wang, not to mention the other big households, and a few timid ones, set up a porridge shed at his door that afternoon. up.

As the evening approached, the sky cleared up, and the sun, which had not been seen for several days, was finally willing to show its face. When it was halfway down, it burned half of the sky into crimson. Looking from a distance, it was very beautiful.

"Your reputation seems to be getting better, are you satisfied?" Liu Yanqing leaned against a dying old locust tree, and whispered behind me.

Before I knew it, Liu Yanqing seldom referred to me as His Highness, and on the contrary, I occasionally forgot to call him my king.

I noticed the tired look on his face, paused, and sighed: "Actually, I don't care about my reputation, nor do I care how many people will scold me."

Having been an immortal for thousands of years, I have long seen the vicissitudes of life in this world, and I am tired of the endless cycle of the sun and the moon. The places where loyal and good people are buried in green hills, and the achievements of emperors are fleeting. To me, this is nothing more than mediocrity.

What I want is nothing more than a touch of white moonlight shining into my heart, and nothing more than a sentence that I will save you.

Liu Yanqing heard the meaning of my words and was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed in a hoarse voice as if venting, and replied: "That's true."

"Forget it, I'm not a shameless person. It's a blessing to have known each other. It's because I'm too greedy. I'll leave after this snow disaster, far away from you. In the next life...the next life, you do Your Xiaoyaoxian, I will take my reincarnation."

My heart stopped for no reason, my mouth was suddenly dry, I wanted to say that there was no need to be like this, but when the words came to my lips, I just said: "Okay."

Liu Yanqing, it's right that I have failed you, because I met someone earlier than I met you, and I definitely can't let you down.
