Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

People are scary and scary.After the late-night raid by the shopkeeper's lady, I woke up no matter how much I fell asleep.In the middle of the night, I couldn't come to Cui Zhouping to talk about life and ideals. I endured the cold night and finally waited until Dongfang vomited. I reluctantly stuffed some porridge into my stomach to satisfy my hunger.

Unable to look directly at the shopkeeper's lady's silent urging, I resigned myself to taking a jar of Dukang from the shop as a welcome ceremony, and walked slowly towards Cui's house.

Along the way, I was evaluating the possibility of being silenced by the Cui family.

Calculating carefully, Cui Zhouping and I have known each other for xx years.At first we exchanged names because he was Kong Ming's senior brother. Later, when I left the thatched cottage, he sympathized with my unrequited love and often came to take care of the wine shop's business, so he never alienated me.Cui Zhouping is open-minded, generous, and a very good friend.But looking back on the previous exchanges, there was no actual serious conflict between me and him, so it can't be used as a footnote for today's visit.

The aristocratic family has always made decisions before moving, otherwise it would be impossible to pass it on for a hundred years without failing.It is very important to be good at raising private soldiers. Since the Cui family dared to step into this muddy water, they must have corresponding preparations.No matter how good the relationship between Cui Zhouping and me is, it is impossible to risk the lives of the whole family.It is clear at a glance which is more important between the love of flesh and blood and the accidental acquaintance.

No matter where the shopkeeper's lady came from, from the moment she knocked on my door last night, she had already put herself in danger and dragged me into the water along the way.

Escape is impossible.Regardless of how far I can run with only two legs, no money, no car, with the strength of the Cui family, it is easy to find an uninhabited path to kill and throw away the corpse.What's more, the shopkeeper's wife is dragging her family and has a husband whose life and death are unknown in her heart. Even if I try my best to persuade her, she may not be willing to give up the wine shop that she has devoted half her life to make a living in a distant country.

It's better to stay in Nanyang honestly, the neighbors are full of acquaintances, if the wine shop doesn't open on time, someone will come to ask.At least, we two living beings will not disappear quietly.

Cui Zhouping obviously also thought of this episode, and after welcoming me into the secret room, seeing that I was not afraid, he even deliberately praised me for my boldness: "You are calm, calm, calm, and didn't ask a word. Just follow me in, won't you be afraid of my black hands?"

I was helpless: "I have already entered your Cui's house, so it's all up to you, what's the use of being afraid?" The moment he opened the secret room, I was half relieved.If he really wanted to, he would just kill someone on his own territory and just stab him with a knife, so he didn't need to go through all these troubles.

Cui Zhouping lit the torch, and walked into the secret passage with a cat's body: "Kong Ming said that you are different from ordinary women, and it really is not a lie."

Unexpectedly, not only did he not deny privately raising soldiers, but he also took the initiative to expose the secrets of the family to me. I was surprised to follow him into the depths of the tunnel.

Although I once heard Liu Xi mention that various crafts and technologies were quite advanced during the Three Kingdoms period, I still couldn't help being amazed when I saw it with my own eyes.What unfolded in front of my eyes was an artificial platform not inferior to the modern level, which could accommodate three people walking side by side, with a fork in three steps and a mouth in five steps. If someone did not lead the way, they would definitely lose their way in the darkness of the underground.Cui Zhouping reminded me to pay attention to my steps while leading me through the bends and turns in the middle of the road. There are too many organs hidden in the dark.After walking for a while, looking back, I can only feel that the road is deep and deep, and the traps seem to be gone, quiet and dangerous.

I don't know whether Cui Zhouping warned or did not mention it, he especially emphasized the airtightness of the tunnel, saying that this tunnel seems to lead in all directions, but in fact there is only one exit, and the rest of the roads are full of organs, so there is no pressure to kill people every minute.

I quickly raised my hand and confessed my innocence: "I have a poor sense of direction. Not to mention walking such a long distance in darkness, I can't remember the way even if I'm walking on the street in broad daylight." Big truth.Because I was born in a modern city, I always felt that the ancients had amazing skills of looking at the sun to identify directions and finding places by feeling. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t learn the essence, and I was often teased by Ah Xiang.

Cui Zhouping is well aware of my road-blind nature, but he seems to think that I will be wrong, so he can't help but laugh: "Who is worried about you leaking the secret! This tunnel is Kong Ming's masterpiece, and it will only be completed in a month, so there is no need to guard against you. "

"So, Kong Ming really cheated his death!" I carefully looked at the surrounding stone walls. Although my eyesight is limited and I can't tell the year of construction, I can clearly see the sharp edges and corners, which don't look like they have been eroded by the years.However, the tunnel leads directly to the study of the Cui family, so what is Kong Ming doing digging the tunnel for the Cui family?

Turning the last corner and passing through the iron gate at the end of the road, the sun suddenly poured down from the top of the head, and it suddenly became clear.

"It's Beishan?" I raised my eyebrows, and some guesses flashed in my mind.

The mountain bandits in the north of the city, the private army of Cui's mansion, the authentic study, and many nouns are connected in a line, leading to an incredible hypothesis.I was dubious: "Don't tell me, you and Kong Ming worked together, gathered bandits, and formed an army..." Is this the rhythm of an uprising?

"What a mess!" Cui Zhouping muttered dissatisfiedly, looked around nervously, to make sure that no one was watching, suddenly lifted the corner of his robe, knelt on the ground, and said loudly, "Cui Zhouping, a grassroots man, pays homage to Princess Shengyang, The princess is thousand years old!"

! ! !What the hell is this unfolding, I'm stunned, okay?

After wiping off my sweat, I reached out to help him humbly, stumbling and denying: "What princess, you made a mistake hahahahaha."

Cui Zhouping raised his head and looked at me calmly: "Princess, there is no need to argue, Kong Ming has already told me everything."

"... When did he find out about it?" I was completely unprepared to be stripped of my vest suddenly.

Cui Zhouping got up calmly: "The twelfth lunar month of last year, maybe even earlier."

"It's so early..." I can't describe my mood.Ever since I came to Nanyang, I have kept my life experience secret, never mentioned it to anyone, and there is no possibility of it being leaked.It can be guessed in this way, should I praise Zhuge Liang who really deserves to be called a genius?

Maybe it was because my expression was too surprised, Cui Zhouping rarely comforted me: "Princess Jinzhiyuye, her behavior is naturally different from ordinary people, even if she accidentally lives among the people, she will not easily disappear from the public."

Too bad I wasn't comforted at all.They have known it for a long time, but they have kept it secret all the time. Is it fun to watch me perform a one-man show alone?Suddenly, I felt stupid and stupid, the joke that was watched for so long.

Unfortunately, I thought it was well hidden.

Seeing that I was depressed, Cui Zhouping sighed, and thoughtfully changed the topic: "It's late, and the wine shop lady must still be waiting for news. Why don't we go up the mountain immediately, and if we have any doubts, we can answer them when we see Kong Ming."

I suppressed the resentment in my heart, tied the corner of the skirt that dragged the floor into a knot, followed Cui Zhouping, and walked up the mountain step by step.
