Chapter 135: Threats and Deceivers
Cui Xiu and Zhang Che sat face to face, chatting without any embarrassment of strangers, talking to each other as if they were old acquaintances who had known each other for a long time.
Li Qun stood aside and watched Cui Xiu doing things with Zhang Che so skillfully. If no one said she was the concubine Jia in the palace, others would think she was a young master from an ordinary family.
He thought that Cui Xiu was still the same as before, but he never thought that after so many years, she was no longer the innocent girl she was back then.
She is no longer that little girl who is attracted by beautiful men and forgets where she came from, where she is going, and what she is going to do.
Over the years, it's not just him, not just the city of Kyoto that has changed. In fact, Cui Xiu has also changed a lot subtly.
It’s just that they met too early. So he always felt that she hadn't changed and was still the same as before.
“Brother Zhang, you don’t know how miserable I have been in these years.”
“When I first arrived in Kyoto, I didn’t know anyone, and I wanted to make a name for myself. , It’s really not easy.”
“In the past few years, there is not much money left from the money I brought from home.”
When Zhang Che heard Cui Xiu's words, sympathy suddenly appeared on his face. He looked at the tragic expression on Cui Xiu's face that was almost in tears, raised his hand and patted Cui Xiu's arm, comforting him: "Brother, you have suffered."
"I didn't expect that we would say goodbye that day. , When we meet again, we are both fallen people."
A very emotional expression appeared on Zhang Che's face, and he looked at Cui Xiu seriously, expressing his regret.
Cui Xiu thinks this person is the same as what Li Qun said, which is indeed interesting. He always feels like a natural comedian. He felt that Zhang Che didn't really believe everything she said, but just saw that he was easy to deceive.
Generally, people who seem crazy like this are not a good person.
As the saying goes, only those who are extremely smart will think of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, always to protect themselves.
He doesn't believe Li Qun, which means he doesn't believe the people Li Qun brings.
The reason why he talked so much to Cui Xiu was just because they had met before, and Cui Xiu had been kind to him.
“It shows that you and I are really destined to be together.”
“Brother Zhang, what kind of person do you think this Master Li is?”
Cui Xiu asked Zhang Che directly in front of Li Qun. With such a scene in the Shura field, no one else except Cui Xiu dared to say this.
When Zhang Che heard Cui Xiu asking such a direct question and not shying away from Li Qun at all, he guessed that the relationship between this man and Li Qun must be unusual, otherwise he would not dare to ask him like this.
If this is not easy to say, it is a matter of losing one's head.
Does Zhang Che know who Li Qun is? He is the current Duke of Xu, and a great contributor to assisting His Majesty in ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.
“Brother, Mr. Li is naturally a good person.”
"If I hadn't been taken in by Mr. Li, I would still be wandering around now."
"The grace of saving my life will never be forgotten."
Although Zhang Che felt resentful towards Li Qun in his heart. But I still had to bow my head under the eaves. He could only hide the anger in his heart. He flattered Li Qun openly, hoping that Li Qun would be happy and let him go.
He didn't like being trapped in a house with tiles.
He longed for Jianghu in his heart, but this time he went back to Kyoto and before he could see his father, he was captured by Li Qun and kept in this courtyard for five years.
So he was provided with good food and drink every day, but people asked him some incomprehensible questions every day, which really made him not know what to do.
He is just a small person, how does he know about those problems?
Master Li is really overqualified. However, Zhang Che said these words to the people around Li Qun countless times, but those people never listened to his words. They only believed what they chose to believe.
That means he, Zhang Che, must be related to what they want to know.
Cui Xiu and Li Qun both heard Zhang Che's flattering and flattering praise. The expression on Li Qun's face did not change much, as if he was used to these false words.
After Cui Xiu heard Zhang Che's down-to-earth compliment, she smiled: "I didn't expect Brother Zhang to admire Lord Li so much."
"If that's the case, why did Brother Zhang Why don’t you tell Mr. Li what you know?”
“Please come and catch me, Mr. Li”
Cui Xiu said, looking at Li Qun to signal him. Follow your own words and don’t expose yourself.
Li Qun received a serious look from Cui Xiu, and he knew that Cui Xiu was addicted to drama.
Li Qun's main character is to see through but not tell. In line with Cui Xiu's performance, he slowly said: "If it's more troublesome, I can let him speak. Then my father-in-law still has some patience to solve this trouble. "
"You have been kind to him, so you should advise him to finish what he needs to explain as soon as possible."
"If he refuses to say it. >
Li Qun looked at Cui Xiu as he spoke, with a deliberately threatening look in his eyes. He wanted outsiders to see what would happen to those who didn't help him do this?
"Then you don't have to take your life."
"My Lord will give you half an hour."
Cui Xiu was very smooth when he heard that Li Qun was so cooperative with him. Continuing the play, he looked at Zhang Che, with a slight tremor of fear in his voice, and said: "I know what the young master said when he returned home."
After Li Qun gave a cold look, he turned around and walked out. , only Cui Xiu and Zhang Che stayed in place, motionless.
Cui Xiu thought to himself, he didn’t expect that Li Qun’s acting skills were really good, much better than before.
If Li Qun had such acting skills back then, the two of them would have been together long ago. I originally thought that Li Qun didn't even bother acting, but I didn't expect that he would become like this.
Sure enough, people will change when they grow up.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Seeing Cui Xiu trembling like this, Zhang Che relaxed his original vigilance and followed Li Qun's back as he walked out. He didn't look back until he couldn't see the back.
“Brother Zhang, you heard it too.”
"The Duke has spoken. If you don't say it, both of us will suffer."
"But if you really have your own insistence, then you don't say it."
"I can't force others to make things difficult for me."
Cui Xiu deliberately made a roundabout way, thinking that any serious person would be able to say it. He thought that Zhang Che was also a normal person, but he never thought that the following answer made Cui Xiu Shou was shocked and dumbfounded.
I didn’t expect that there really are such people in the world.
"Thank you for your understanding, brother."
"We met by chance, but you are willing to take such responsibility for me. I am really touched."
"Since brother said so Then I have to keep it secret."
A righteous and awe-inspiring expression appeared on Zhang Che's face, and a look of emotion appeared on his face. It was obvious that he was indeed attracted by Cui Xiu. I was moved by the concept of "don't do anything to others if you don't want it."
