Travel through the long dream millennium
Chapter 152
After waiting quietly outside the door for a long while, but there was no other movement inside, Jasmine frowned slightly, thinking about the stupid things that this famous absurd kid in the holy city had committed in the past.Before she knocked on the door again to urge her, the door that had been closed for a long time finally opened slowly with a sound of "squeak."
But the figure that appeared after that didn't make Jasmine feel any relaxed mood.
"Master Su Sheng, may I ask who is..."
Zheng Susheng deliberately put his face on the floor and put on a majestic posture, subconsciously tightened the palms around the waist of the man in his arms - and then felt a hard and cold object against his ribs, gently tapping Knocked.
You old man, please take it easy, if there is a fire accident, half of my life will be gone!
With wide noodle tears silently flowing in his heart, but still pretending to be calm on the surface, Zheng Susheng stiffened his body and coughed dryly, "This is a friend I made at the banquet."
"But—" Looking at this posture, how could Jasmine not know that the bold young master in front of her was actually going to bring her newly-acquainted concubine in front of the Patriarch.For her, who claims to be a dedicated assistant, such behavior is simply the biggest provocation to her, and she will inevitably turn cold for a while.
"Why, brother, he didn't just allow me to go there alone." Zheng Susheng raised his head slightly, raised his brows and eyes, and almost didn't write his arrogance and ambition on his face, and waved away the hand of the woman who didn't know when to stop him. Swayed away.
As everyone knows, the villain in his heart has already grabbed the ground with his head many times.
As a member of Zheng's family, how could he not know the woman who was following behind him quietly and remained strangely silent.With her outstanding work ability, she was valued by the head of the family, and she even had the ability to mobilize part of the family's team at certain special moments.To put it bluntly, although I am much higher than her in terms of birth status, if someone really wants to kill her, it is no more difficult than crushing an ant.
Facing the news of such a death, the mighty Zheng Xuanyin might not even blink his eyes.
Similarly, Zheng Susheng is also very clear about how loyal the woman named Jasmine is to his elder brother, that is, the head of the current generation. If the former did not personally order her, she would never be true to herself, the direct blood of the Zheng family. Killing intent.However, even so, he who dared to show such an obvious attitude of contempt and disdain would probably have a hard time in the future--the death penalty is inevitable, and the death penalty is inevitable, that's why.
But no matter what, it is better to have a difficult life in the future than to lose your life right now.He had no doubt that if he had shown the slightest resistance in the room before, then now it should be the horrifying scene where Jasmine knocked on the door for a long time but received no response, and then broke open the door to find himself dead on the bed.
----------------
At the same time, in the living room on the second floor.
"Master Xuan Yin, please taste it. This is the most precious wine in the wine cellar that my subordinates discovered not long ago."
With a beautiful little beard, the middle-aged man could barely be considered beautiful just by looking at his face. There was a flattering and flattering smile on his face, and he carefully handed the crystal clear glass in his hand to the man on the opposite table.
The blood-red liquid swayed in the cup, which was really alluring.
He silently took the goblet and shook it slightly in the palm of his hand.The man was not in a hurry to sip this luxurious and confusing wine, but watched it for a while as if playing with it, and finally asked unhurriedly, "I wonder what Patriarch Li thinks about the cooperation plan I proposed earlier?"
"...This—" He took out a silk handkerchief from his chest pocket to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and Li Gui answered awkwardly, "It's a matter of completely tearing my face off with those lunatics in the city defense department, let me think about it again." Think, think again..."
"Wait a little longer, wait day and night, Patriarch Li, how long are you guys going to wait?" With a cold snort, Zheng Xuanyin suddenly put the glass in his hand on the table, and the two collided with each other to make a crisp crashing sound. "Don't you realize that the one at the top has been secretly reducing the power of our meritorious nobles? Even the transfer order not long ago to assign the nobles' children in the city to the city defense department to practice is an obvious temptation. "
"If you want to sit still and be stripped of your status and privileges layer by layer like a boiled frog in warm water, and finally reduced to the point where you are even worse than that group of civilians, I have nothing to say. Anyway, there are not many of you in this alliance. Not as many as you, but since you are also one of the most influential forces in the Holy City, I kindly came here to make a point."
Pushing away the seat and standing up, Zheng Xuan straightened his cuffs, as if he was about to leave the seat completely in the next second.
A faint but not negligible ominous sign flashed across Li Gui's mind, and he jumped up from his seat as if his butt was on fire, and he was about to pull the other party's sleeve without saying a word.
Zheng Xuanyin curled his lips indiscriminately, stepped back slightly to avoid Li Gui's interception, and turned back with a sneer, "Why, do you want to change your mind?"
"Yes, yes. I didn't think carefully before and misunderstood Patriarch Zheng's kindness."
Li Gui nodded and bowed, like a pug trying his best to please his master, "Mr. Wanwang, don't be offended, and then please speak well for me in the league."
While Li Gui said a lot of things that made him feel sick, he also secretly despised his stupidity in his heart.
Since the previous generation, that is, my father passed away, the Li family's family background has gone from bad to worse, and this trend has intensified after my eldest son Li Wangqian disappeared inexplicably.Such a large traditional aristocratic family now has to beg for mercy from other forces and keep "selling" their daughters in exchange for marriages to maintain it.
This plan proposed by Patriarch Zheng, who was even more arrogant than the lunatics in the City Defense Department, was extremely risky and could be overthrown at any time.Once successful, but also have a splash of wealth to enjoy.
——More importantly, I have no room for rejection at all.
Since they have laid out the plan clearly in front of your eyes, you don't have to worry about the risk of leakage.Comparing the disparity between the two powers now, Li Gui, who has been in charge of the family for several years and is used to seeing filth, knows it very well.As long as I don't change my original intention, when Zheng Xuanyin's feet step out of his house, maybe the whole house will be engulfed by the fire that soars to the sky in the next second.
He is someone who has seen the opponent's methods.
At that time, Zheng Xuanyin was not even 20 years old, but he acted like an executioner who had been fighting to survive for many years in the wilderness.
It was also for this reason that Li Gui disliked himself even more who was vacillating before.Obviously there is only one path to choose, so it's better to be straightforward. The fearless attitude of a warrior is naturally more flattering than taking advantage of the situation like a grass.
What happened is a given, and he can't make any stupid mistakes in the future.Rubbing his palms with a dry smile, Li Guiyan said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Susheng should be here too, just in time for him to meet Wan'er. Wan'er also admires that person very much, and he will definitely become a fairy couple in the future."
"Oh, is that so?" Zheng Xuanyin blinked, "Why did I hear that Patriarch Li hastily invited several famous doctors from the Holy City to come to his door a few nights ago, saying that the Patriarch committed suicide—could it be all hearsay? rumors?"
"Of course, of course they are all rumors, and I don't know which picky bastard with a long tongue is specially fabricating this kind of fake news that taints people's innocence."
"It would be best if there were rumors, and I hope Patriarch Li will take care of them at that time, and don't let the marriage fail to become an enemy." Zheng Xuanyin said lightly.
"Ha, ha, ha, judging from what you said, Wan'er's child is naturally very well-behaved. The wedding banquet will be very lively and there will be absolutely no mistakes."
The cold sweat on Li Gui's forehead grew more and more, and even the specially prepared silk handkerchief was wet like falling into a pool.
Before Zheng Xuanyin could say anything more, there was a regular knock on the door outside the living room.
"Come in."
Zheng Xuanyin, who recognized the unique door-knocking pattern of his assistant, spoke calmly, without the slightest sense of stealing the conversation from the real owner here.And Li Gui, who was taken over by someone else, didn't respond in any unnecessary way. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief because of the topic being pulled away.
Someone in the family committed suicide is not a rumor, but a real fact.The person who happened to be born is also one of the protagonists in this unequal family marriage, his youngest daughter Li Shiwan.He was also busy with business, so he didn't realize that the child was actually involved with the guards at home.By the time he announced his marriage contract with her, causing them to kneel in front of her and beg bitterly, it was too late.
The unruly guard who dared to offend the master's daughter was naturally cleaned out by him immediately.But Li Gui didn't expect Wan'er to have such deep affection for him, and she hanged herself on a beam in the house that night.If her maid hadn't discovered it early, she might have died for many days.
Even so, a few days of eating and drinking without thinking about heartbreak has already made him skinny and skinny. At first glance, it seems that he is only breathing more than a dead person.
With the situation developing to this point, Li Gui really regretted killing that guard.It's not that they were moved by the sincere friendship between them, it's just that it is far more convenient to use the living to blackmail the living than to use the dead.
----------------
Li Gui, who was caught in his own thoughts, didn't notice that after Jasmine quietly entered the room and whispered a few words in Zheng Xuanyin's ear, the man's face suddenly turned gloomy and cold.
Such a state of mind was even uglier than when his proposal was rejected just now.
"Bullshit!"
With a low curse, Zheng Xuanyin turned to Jasmine and ordered, "You take that kid to the next room first, and I will meet him in person."
"Yes, Lord Patriarch."
"There's something wrong with my brother, I'll go meet him first——As for Miss Wan'er, I hope Patriarch Li will take good care of her these days. I don't want people in the city to say that Zheng The Patriarch’s younger brother married a skeleton.”
"!!!"
Li Gui, who was still guessing what kind of trouble the unreliable Zheng Susheng had caused, trembled when he heard the words.This time he really didn't dare to care about anything, humbly lowered his head and listened to the sound of the other party's footsteps gradually leaving.
----------------
Because of the hidden anger in his heart, the movement of Zheng Xuanyin pushing the door was a little louder than usual.Logically speaking, that rabbit's courageous, titular "brother" should have found out that he was in a bad mood at this time, and came forward tremblingly to be soft.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, the door suddenly closed without any wind, and the room without the slightest light source fell into darkness in an instant.
Even a fool should realize that something is wrong at this time.
A gust of breaking wind approached quickly, and Zheng Xuanyin calmly raised his hand to hold that arm, which was so powerful that he couldn't stand still for a while, and staggered back a few steps.
It's a stubble.
I quickly made a judgment in my heart.
But it seems that the other party did not get his accurate and complete information, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for him to be stupid enough to get close to him.
A dazzling light suddenly exploded in the pitch-black room, blinding all those unable to react in a short time.
Almost at the same time, a strong current enough to cause anyone to suffer a sudden cardiac arrest and die unexpectedly flowed into the body of the assassin through his fingers.
The man with bright lightning dancing on his arm raised a bloodthirsty and terrifying smile on his lips. He raised his foot to kick the assassin who was caught off guard by him in a sneak attack, and nine out of ten assassins who were already dead fell to the ground.
Because of this movement, the hood that the opponent used to cover his face also slipped off.
"Let me see, what exactly is your master—"
That familiar face came into view unsuspectingly. Under the excessive shock, Zheng Xuanyin didn't even have the heart to finish the second half of the sentence. All unknowingly magnified.
"Long away—"
"How could it be you?!"
Unable to accept this reality at all, the man let out a beast-like roar like a collapse, his eyes were blood red, and there seemed to be a flickering red light flowing in them.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"
Without a word, Zheng Xuanyin restrained his surrounding powers, turned on the light source in the room, and confirmed that he had not admitted his mistake, and fell down in front of the young man who seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
But the figure that appeared after that didn't make Jasmine feel any relaxed mood.
"Master Su Sheng, may I ask who is..."
Zheng Susheng deliberately put his face on the floor and put on a majestic posture, subconsciously tightened the palms around the waist of the man in his arms - and then felt a hard and cold object against his ribs, gently tapping Knocked.
