The atmosphere in the main hall of Liu Mansion was so strange that it was difficult to comprehend.
Liu Zhi'an sat on the chair, holding the tea lid and fiddled with the tea leaves floating on the tea from time to time. His eyes wandered strangely on his young boy and his girl.
As soon as the gangster and the girl came back, the atmosphere in the hall became a little weird, so weird that it was confusing.
Liu Zhi'an lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then gently closed the tea lid.
He always felt that there was something like... between his sister and his gangster.
Something happened!
Mrs. Liu is very caring and has a delicate mind. She has already guessed from the provocative look in her son's eyes at her sister-in-law that her sister-in-law must have done some torturous 'debauchery' to her son on the way back. .
Madam Liu was well aware of her sister-in-law's unconventional and unrestrained character.
Young Master Liu drank the tea gently, spitting out a piece of tea leaf from time to time, and looked provocatively at Liu Ying, who was sitting opposite her with an elegant and outstanding temperament, and a demeanor that was both angry and happy, as if she was a fair lady.
'Say, keep talking. '
'Young master, if you don't go to your parents, you really think no one can cure you. '
Liu Ying measured her body imperceptibly and gave Young Master Liu a loving look. The charm in her beautiful eyes seemed to melt a person's bones.
The teasing look in his eyes was self-evident.
'I'm afraid of you. Let's see how arrogant you are when no one is around. '
"Cough...cough cough cough..."
Young Master Liu choked on his tea, lowered his head and started coughing. Liu Ying's expression immediately became serious.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly looked at Young Master Liu: "Zhi'er, are you okay?"
"Mom, I'm fine. The tea is too hot. It's nothing serious."
"As long as it's okay, don't drink the tea in a hurry if it's hot!"
"My child knows, thank you, mother."
Liu Zhi'an opened the tea lid with a weird look on his face, glanced at the warm tea in the cup, glanced at Young Master Liu with a sullen expression, crossed his legs and leaned on the chair with a sneer.
"Zhazha!"
Old Man Liu's voice was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough to be heard clearly by Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu put down the teacup in his hand with an embarrassed expression and stood up: "Mother, I have been sitting on my knees in the court for a long time. My child's waist and legs are sore. Let's take a bath first to rejuvenate the muscles and bones. It just so happens that my aunt has something to do with the old man, so I won't interfere too much. Alright, I’m leaving first, you guys can chat.”
Liu Zhi'an rolled his eyes looking at Mr. Liu's fleeing back, put down his tea cup and stood up.
"Madam, tell the kitchen to prepare some food and wine. I will go to the study to talk to Xiaoying first."
"I know, I will go right away."
"Xiaoying, please wait a moment, my sister-in-law is going to the back first!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
After Mrs. Liu left, brother and sister Liu Zhi'an also rushed towards the study in the inner courtyard.
In the study room, Liu Zhian looked at the young girl opposite with a deep look.
"Wang Mang! Huo Guang! How did the bastard answer?"
Liu Ying shook her head silently. There was no trace of the lazy and charming look in her beautiful eyes when she was around Young Master Liu, only the sparkle.
"Xiao Mingming didn't give an answer. I think he should have already had his own ideas."
Liu Zhi'an nodded slightly, gently clasped his fingers on the table and began to think.
Liu Ying sighed silently and looked at Liu Zhi'an with complicated eyes.
"Brother!"
"What's wrong?"
"My little sister is a little scared. To be honest, my little sister really doesn't want to see Xiao Mingming take this step. This is a road of no return, a road of no return."
"Once you get started, there are only two outcomes, either failure or complete success. With the Li family's background and the court's current prestige in the hearts of the people, I really have no confidence in Xiao Mingming."
"Once you make the wrong move, just being orthodox is enough to throw Xiao Mingming into the abyss, and he will never recover, and the whole Liu family will also..."
Liu Zhi'an stood up with a complex expression, walked to the window, opened it and looked at the white snow beside the lake in the backyard.
"It is no longer up to us to decide whether we can take this path, but His Majesty decides which path Zhi'er will take."
"It can be said that whether Zhi'er is loyal or traitorous depends on your majesty's decision."
"It is fate to step on the Seven Stars, and it is not something we can interfere with. We have already intervened once, and the facts have proved that God's will is hard to violate."
"Since we can't intervene, we can only do our best to help pave the way for him."
"What we brothers and sisters do is not only for Zhi'er, but also for the entire Liu family."
"I don't want to be like this, but looking at Zhi'er's growth, can you still stop it?"
Liu Ying looked at her elder brother's slightly hesitant expression, feeling a little confused.
"But Zhi'er's current strength is simply not enough..."
"Xiaoying, we don't need to worry about whether the success is a failure or a success. The gangster seems careless and doesn't care about anything, but he has a dark heart!"
"The chess game he arranged is so profound! Even I was heartbroken when I saw it, how could he be so ruthless!"
"In this world today, he is the worthy chess player."
"This game of chess in the world started with him, and it will naturally end with him."
"There is only one chess player. If he wants to change, he must live or die. Since he doesn't want to die, then he has no choice but to live!"
Liu Ying nodded feebly: "Little sister, I understand. I'm going to see Zhi'er."
"Well! Some words don't need to be too carefully guided. In today's field, he knows better than everyone what position he is in now."
"In the hands of the chess player, all the people in the world and the common people are chess pieces. If you want to finish a game of chess, it is inevitable to sacrifice some chess pieces. If he doesn't have a bad heart, he will be sorry for the fact that he was born with seven stars. It’s destiny.”
"Throughout the past and present, those who want to achieve supreme hegemony have to step on mountains of corpses and seas of blood to reach the top."
Liu Ying's delicate body trembled when she heard Liu Zhi'an's gloomy voice.
"knew!"
"Xiaoying!"
"What's wrong?"
Liu Zhi'an scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sometimes, you just have to make jokes that are not polite, but don't take it seriously. He is your nephew!"
Liu Yingying's lips trembled, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she turned around and glared at Liu Zhian fiercely.
"Liu Zhian, you are a human being too. How the hell did these words come out of your mouth?"
Liu Zhi'an's face became a little unnatural: "I...I...I am also giving you a warning! Who made you do too many irrelevant things since you were a child? I'm afraid that your brain Once hot..."
However, Liu Ying was destined not to hear Liu Zhi'an's words. Liu Yaoji had already twisted his plump waist and rushed towards Young Master Liu's courtyard.
"Hey! Xiao Mingming, what are you doing?"
Liu Ying rushed to Young Master Liu's yard. Young Master Liu was walking towards the door of the house carrying a gift box.
Young Master Liu helplessly looked at Liu Ying who appeared in front of him again, and picked up the gift box in his hand.
"Go to visit Lao Jiang, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and see if you can invite him back. Now the Ministry of Revenue cannot do without him. Although Pan Yun, the left minister, is a capable person, he is too young after all, and his qualifications and means are inferior to those of others. Without Lao Jiang, he would not be able to clean up the mess in the household department."
Liu Ying nodded without interest and patted Young Master Liu on the waist.
"Go on, look at how strong you are now. It's completely different from how you were before. Sister, I'll wait for you to come back and give it a try!"
Young Master Liu squeaked twice, carrying the gift box and running towards the door of the mansion.
He was really afraid to his core of his evil aunt who was always driving.
After leaving the house, Young Master Liu rushed towards the place where Lao Jiang lived based on the information found by the relevant department. His eyes wandered the street from time to time to see if he could buy some other gifts.
"Sir, do you want a book? A forbidden book with colored pictures!"
"That sounds friendly. Do you have an offer?"
Young Master Liu, who finished his answer smoothly, was startled, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.
Subconsciously, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a wretched figure looking at him with a lively look.
"You...you...hiss...I remember, it's you!"
"Hiss... I also remembered, it's you!"
The two held hands tightly and spoke in unison, as if they had met their best friends for many years.
"It's fate!"
Young Master Liu smiled and glanced at the middle-aged man's arms.
"Brother, is the content of the new book exciting?"
"Brother, I always operate with integrity and ensure quality. I'm always awesome. That guy only has things you can't think of. There's nothing that's not available above. He can play, play, and sing. He has everything. It doesn't matter what position you take... Uh... ..It doesn’t matter what color the illustrations are, I guarantee you’ll have them all!”
Young Master Liu swallowed instinctively, looked around and pursed his lips at the alley next to the main street.
"Brother, please take a moment to speak."
"Just what I want, brother, please!"
In the alley, the middle-aged man untied his robe and shook it at Young Master Liu. He saw that the inner pocket of his clothes was full of books.
"Brother, as I said before, good products are worth a lot of money!"
Young Master Liu put down the gift box in his hand and rubbed his hands with a smile.
“As long as the goods are good, I guarantee you won’t be short of money!”
"The old rule is to inspect the goods first. Come on, I recommend you to get this "Yi Qi Jing". I won't say anything."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother. I'll inspect the goods first."
Young Master Liu took the dark yellow book and opened the cover tremblingly, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Here I go, this pose...uh...this...the quality of this color picture is really awesome!"
"That's, that's what you know, brother. I won't show it to ordinary people."
"The fixed price is five thousand taels, and I will give you a gift as well. How about that?"
Young Master Liu glanced at the book briefly, looking at the dazzling colorful pictures on it, and looked at the middle-aged man hesitantly.
"Brother, five thousand taels is too expensive, isn't it?"
"Hey, my brother, that's not enough. It's natural to be expensive. I should have a deep understanding of the Great Compassion Gift last time, so I don't need to say more."
"In a word, whether you want it or not, I don't have to worry about selling it! I don't need to explain the word "Yiqi" in "Yi Qi Jing". I think I understand it. You get what you pay for. As long as the method is appropriate, I guarantee that I will You be a tough and good man every day.”
"You can go up to the nine heavens to catch the moon, and you can go down to the five oceans to catch turtles."
"Even if you have worked in a dry well for thirty years, you are guaranteed to be able to get water out of it!"
"How is it? Are you being overbearing? Do you want to buy it?"
The young master looked at the middle-aged man doubtfully: "Is it so magical?"
The middle-aged man sighed and tried to take back the books in Young Master Liu's hand: "If the buyer doesn't know the goods, how can the seller take action? See you later."
With a snap, a banknote was taken into the middle-aged man's hand.
"purchase!"
The middle-aged man flicked the banknote in his hand and happily put it in his arms.
“A pleasure to work with.”
"Brother, where are the gifts?"
The middle-aged man smiled strangely, took out something from behind and handed it to Young Master Liu's hand.
"It's getting cold. It's freezing. I'll give you a hat to keep you warm. My name is Deng Yangming. Little brother, we'll meet again by fate."
"Farewell!"
Young Master Liu stared blankly at Deng Yangming's retreating figure, looked down at the pale white hat in his hand and pondered.
After a long time, Young Master Liu's expression changed with shock, and his eyes narrowed as he looked at the alley where Deng Yangming disappeared.
"You can kill with your intentions!"
