Chapter 668 Chapter 668: Joining the Masters (Part 1) [Ask for monthly votes]
This is the truth, and Luan Xin naturally understands it.
But he still had a question to ask.
"Wang Chao is so good at making decisions, don't you worry that one day they will come back to bite you?" When Luan Xin asked this question, his expression was calm, but his dark eyes had an incomprehensible look. Complex, "Criticize you for being a sycophant who is good at flattery?"
Gu Chi smiled calmly and said: "So what if you are a sycophant?"
This rhetorical question almost stunned Luan Xin.
After thinking carefully, he came to the conclusion that as long as Gu Chi didn't care about reputation, being criticized as a sycophant really couldn't cause any harm to him, and he could even live a good life. Is this the evaluation of the current generation, let alone the evaluation of future generations?
"The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden." Luan Xin looked straight into Gu Chi's eyes, not allowing him to dodge or hide, and said sonorously and forcefully, "Watch the tide and don't be afraid. When did he end up like this?"
Gu Chi smiled: "Are you worried about me?"
Luan Xin didn't give an answer.
Gu Chi didn't care either.
He actually said something shocking: "Can't a dead rabbit be cooked like a dog?"
Luan Xin's pupils were shaking: "???"
"The world is settled, and the counselors are dead. . If so, it is a good sign to have such a scribe. If one day we really end up with nothing but fate, it will be time and fate." Gu Chi's eyebrows were no longer depressed, only open-minded and relaxed, with traces of smile appearing in his eyes, "Besides, she is the master. I won’t do that.”
Luan Xin only thought this sentence was absurd and funny.
How naive is this?
He couldn't believe that these words came from Gu Chi.
Luan Xin said quietly: "Looking at the tide cannot understand the human heart."
Gu Chi retorted: "It is justice that cannot understand the lord."
Luan Xin : "..."
He probably didn't expect that Gu Chi would be Shen Tang's biggest fan. Putting aside whether he would eat this Amway or not, Luan Xin wanted to know the answer very much now. He asked: "Gu Wangchao, so it is said that the matter of Wen Yangong was also authorized by you?"
Gu Chi pretended to be stupid. Leng: "What?"
Luan Xin: "Did you instruct Wen Yangong to die?"
Gu Chi said with an innocent look: "Wen Yangong committed suicide, how could it be that it was Chi who ordered it? Justice can't kill a few soldiers who violated military discipline just because Chi made an independent decision. The incident was also framed on Chitou, which is unjust."
Luan Xin's expression was obviously unbelieving.
He suddenly mentioned something: "I believe what I heard - that day when we attacked Xiaocheng, it was you who ordered the cold arrows to be fired at Gongxi Qiu!"
If you count it down, Gu Chixia has quite a lot of evil hands.
Gu Chi folded his hands in his sleeves and said confidently: "Why don't you ask for justice? That day, Chi ordered Shouxing to assassinate Gong Xiqiu, but Wen Yangong on the city wall also ordered people to shoot cold arrows at the lord. , if Gong Xiqiu hadn’t helped to block it..."
When talking about this, Gu Chi felt a toothache.
The two of them help each other to catch cold arrows in front of the formation. No matter how you look at it, it is outrageous. If you don’t say it is unprecedented, at least it is unprecedented.
Gu Chi failed to achieve his goal and even made a mess.
Luan Xin understood: "So you have murderous intentions?"
Gu Chi did not understand, and asked: "Why is Zhengyi so sure that Chi did this? Wen Yangong committed suicide, and Wen Yangong's wife can also prove it. It was obvious that he was afraid of the Qiu family's repayment, and he was so frightened that he drew his sword and committed suicide..."
Luan Xin naturally would not believe it.
"On the day when the redemption money arrives, you order someone to send a message to Wen Yangong - 'The Qiu family has sent the redemption money, and they will send someone to escort Wen Yangong and his family there tomorrow.' Gu Wangchao, you Can you explain what this 'tomorrow' means? ”
Gu Chi looked calm on the surface, but secretly his scalp was slightly numb.
He did not expect that Luan Xin would be able to find out the clues when he acted so secretly, but Qiu Cheng and other former ministers were not aware of it at all. He continued innocently: "Isn't tomorrow tomorrow? How come it has become irrefutable evidence that Chi Zhizhi ordered Wen Yangong to be killed by Zhengyi?" The clan leader will persecute him, guessing that he will be sent It’s not just the redemption money, but also the urging letter that made him draw his sword and kill himself in fear, right?”
Gu Chi: “…”
When it came to this, he stopped pretending and showed his cards.
Anyway, he helped the lord take more than one blame.
One more person can’t kill him.
The curve at the corner of Gu Chi's lips disappeared little by little, replaced by a cold and ruthless expression: "Yes! So what? Gongyi thinks Chi did something wrong? Wen Yangong shot the lord in front with a cold arrow!"
Luan Xin clenched his hands in his sleeves: " He has lost, and there is no possibility of making a comeback if he is sent back to the Qiu family. He will not pose any threat to the lord at all. He asked for the ransom money and forced someone to die. Wang Chao is not afraid that the incident will be revealed, but it will implicate the lord's reputation? "
Gu Chi has a very bachelor attitude.
"If that day comes, I should apologize."
Gu Chi glanced at Luan Xin out of the corner of his eye and quickly retracted it.
Tsk, you can finally understand where Luan Xin’s heart is.
I am not afraid of enmity, but I am afraid that I don’t know when the enmity will be forged. Just like Qiu Wenyan, he will die in a daze.
"In his position, he seeks his position." Gu Chi straightened his back and spoke plausibly, "Justice should understand this truth better than me! I look at the tide and act with no regrets in my life. If justice wants to If the old master seeks revenge, you can come here!”
Whoever gives in first will be the grandson!
Luan Xin spat out word by word: "Gu! Chi!"
Gu Chiyun said calmly: "Chi can't say he will definitely win, but it doesn't matter if he loses. Anyway, the whole family Just one person. Even if he is completely defeated and his family is exterminated, he only has one life! "
See, being a bachelor has its advantages and he can act without any worries.
He currently has the advantage, so there is no need to panic.
Luan Xin didn't know whether to be angry or relieved when he saw Gu Chi acting like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Wen Yangong was kind to him, and he helped plan for several years to repay his kindness, and after getting along with him, he also had some affection. The other party is not a very good lord, but he is not a failure either. In his opinion, Wen Yangong's defeat was the general trend and an inevitable event in this world. The difference was sooner or later, but he would not lose his life.
It has been suspected that the Lord Shen Tang was responsible.
Luan Xin tested him again and again, and testing required long-term contact and communication with Shen Tang, and even heart-to-heart conversations. He admitted that he was shaken in the process, and even found reasons for himself uncontrollably. Qiu Cheng's death was not her fault...
When the truth came out, he didn't have to waver anymore, let alone face Shen Tang. He is the murderer, and it is a difficult question for him how to choose.
Luan Xin: "Sooner or later you will suffer the consequences."
A literary scholar should not trust anyone with all his heart.
It was Shen Tang who was the first to realize that Luan Xin and Gu Chi were getting along, just one day apart. Guess how she knew? Gu Chi, who was still harassing people at Luan Xin's house on the fourth day of the lunar month, came over and started barking at her single partner on the fifth day of the lunar month: "Are you guys breaking up?"
Shen Tang was hiding and preparing to cook a small hot pot.
When Gu Chi came over, she could only bear the pain and divide half of it out.
But for two people, you need to prepare additional ingredients.
She cut the meat slices on the table with her own hands.
The pieces are crystal clear. You can pick them up and put them on the bottom of the pot to rinse them in a few seconds. The taste is absolutely fresh and tender.
She also made shrimp paste, peeling the shrimp by herself and pounding the shrimp meat by herself. When Gu Chi came over, Shen Tang was carrying two silver-white copper maces weighing about 100 kilograms, beating a piece of pork rhythmically. It was supposed to be beef, but cattle were rare, and Shen Tang didn't want to make the cattle lame or go crazy and die just for the sake of a temporary appetite... so he made do with pork.
Gu Chi folded his hands in his sleeves, waiting for the ready-made food. He said: "What does it mean to break up?"
Shen Tang: "It's not a big deal, you're still eating, drinking and staying at his house right now. Or is he unable to bear it and kicking you out?"
Gu Chi almost Choked.
"Conscience of heaven and earth, Chi clearly suffered an unreasonable disaster for my lord!" He didn't just eat and drink, he was obviously on guard against Luan Xin and wanted to get more information. Everything is for the sake of the lord, but it is good for her to do so at her own expense.
Shen Tang was pounding the pork while listening attentively.
After listening to Gu Chi, she put down her ace.
Wash your hands carefully, put the pounded meat into a copper basin, shape out round meat balls, and put them one by one into the broth prepared by the chef. Xingfen responded: "That's it. No wonder Zhengyi always looks awkward. I tried several times but couldn't pry his mouth open. I didn't expect that he discovered the clues about the death of the old rookie Sepi... It was indeed I acted improperly and showed my fault. However, Wang Chao, you are not unreasonable. Who wrote 'die' on the palm of your hand at that time? "
Shen Tang wrote it, and Gu Chi also wrote it.
The two of them worked together, and no one was innocent.
Gu Chi almost had a heart attack: "Lord!"
They are not innocent, but the hatred is on him!
"Lord, aren't you worried about Chi?"
Shen Tang said with a smile: "Why are you worried? He has already stepped down for you. Isn't that the saying 'you will suffer the consequences sooner or later'? "
Luan Xin believed that Gu Chi would kill himself sooner or later if he was so naughty. There was no need to make plans at all. He only had to add fuel to the flames at the critical moment. His attitude towards revenge was quite negative.
Moreover——
Shen Tang smiled and said: "Wangchao, don't worry, I'll protect you!"
In fact, Gu Chi is unlikely to fall behind if he doesn't.
Gu Chi couldn't help but said sourly: "...My lord, you can really rest assured. If Luan Gongyi hadn't convicted Chi by mistake yesterday, then sooner or later this debt would have fallen on the lord. With such a hidden danger, the lord is not worried at all..."
How much does the lord like Luan Gongyi!
“What are you worried about?”
"Worried about his disloyalty."
"I don't mind whether he is loyal or not. To put it more clearly, it doesn't matter where his heart is, it's where his body is. So what about spiritual betrayal? What he did Just make sure you don’t make a mistake.” Shen Tang smiled broadly, “He’s still shaken.”
Gu Chi: “?”
Shen Tang said, “He’s shaken after only a few months with me. Yes, by After all these years, how could he still harbor dissatisfaction? Even if the old rookie Bai Yueguang was really dead, how could a dead person defeat a living person? Moreover, Wang Chao didn't feel like watching such a person who values love and justice, struggling for himself. , is it extremely interesting to be stuck in the quagmire of worldly emotions? Even if he betrays me, he will suffer endless suffering in his heart..."
The more emotional you are, the easier it is to be influenced by emotions.
Gu Chi: "...I sympathize with Luan Gongyi."
The previous lord was a scumbag, and it was obvious that he was a scumbag.
The current lord is a scumbag, and she is so scumbag that no one can guard against her.
"...Maybe Chi should pity himself first."
Shen Tang has prepared the hot pot ingredients.
He smiled and said: "Fresh hot pot, I apologize to you."
Shen Tang asked Dongchu to prepare two kinds of pot bases early in the morning, one mushroom soup and one spicy soup, with as many seasonings as possible.
Gu Chi knows mushroom soup, but not spicy soup. He carefully identified it and said, "Master, how do you add fragrant powder to the soup?"
There are chili peppers at the moment, but most of them are ground into powder and used as fragrant powder. Shen Tang accidentally discovered it from Shen Zhi. of.
Shen Tang answered the question: "This is chili pepper. Drinking it can warm you up, but if you have a bad stomach, you should avoid touching it as it can easily make chrysanthemums spicy."
After hearing so many thoughts from Shen Tang, Gu Chi knew the other meaning of chrysanthemum. He immediately twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, still wanting to die. He chose the spicy soup and took a tentative sip. In an instant, the spiciness rushed straight to his brain. The tip of his tongue felt hot, painful and numb, and a ball of fire rushed down his throat to his internal organs. He coughed for a while and felt better after drinking the goat milk Shen Tang handed him.
"If you're not used to it, try a different kind of pot bottom."
Gu Chi refused: "No need."
While his eyes were blurred by the heat, he rinsed it Be motivated.
Shen Tang: “…”
Shrimp noodles and pork balls are Gu Chi’s favorites.
He spent several days in Shen Tang’s small hotpot, from the fifth to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and successfully experienced what chrysanthemum fire is.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the official office was unsealed and Gu Chi was nowhere to be seen.
When Qishan asked, Shen Tang said: "I ate so much spicy hot pot that I felt sick, so I asked for half a day's sick leave early."
I love eating it.
Qishan: "..."
Luan Xin: "..."
After the work started, everyone became even busier.
Those who are strong will basically start with half-heartedness.
The lord Shen Tang took the lead.
After all, there is not much time left for them.
The first priority is spring plowing. If it is delayed, it means that the harvest of Sibao County this year will be affected. The sharp drop in field taxes is only one of them. What is more serious is the increase in food pressure and more people starving to death. Without food, many things will not be possible.
This is not what Shen Tang wants to see.
Everyone also knew that she valued farming and did not dare to delay.
Hurry up and hurry up, some things are finally over before spring plowing.
For example, field records, planning, land reclamation... Luan Xin and Gu Chi were still cooperating on this matter, and no one looked at them well at that time. For example, the nationwide physical examination is handled by Dr. Dong and Luan Xin, and all the good seedlings selected are sent to Longwu.
Another example is the optimization and experimental planting of cotton seeds. With the buffs of Shen Zhi and Lin Feng, it took more than 150 generations to finally obtain a batch of relatively stable drought-resistant and large-boll cottons. species, and other varieties are still being experimented with, and they are also being developed. The quality alone is good, but when combined with one cotton seed, the progress is not ideal. Luan Xin was also involved in this matter.
He has to go on duty at the government office every few days.
Luan Xin feels that [Half-heartedness] is not enough.
The second step is to prepare for war.
Prepare the food, fodder and soldiers needed for the expedition.
Who goes into battle and who stays behind to look after the house needs to be considered.
Shen Tang didn't want to think about it so early, but——
"Huang Lie sent a letter informing the time of the meeting. It seems that he wants to make a final effort and end it."
_(:з ∠)_
Shiitake thought he was an expert at staying up late, but he didn't expect Leather Jacket to be an expert at it. He stayed up until six in the morning yesterday without crying or making a fuss, just Aba Aba, his old mother couldn't bear it...
