"You! It's a foul!" Li Jiang pointed at Gu Yucheng.
Gu Yucheng was stunned.
Li Jiang glanced at Dai Jun and the agent behind him and said, "Let's go to your store first and then explain in detail."
Gu Yucheng nodded and led everyone to Feng Yuan's store. Feng Yuan arranged for Dai Jun and the agent to stay while Gu Yucheng and Li Jiang went up to the second floor.
On the second floor, Gu Yucheng made tea for Li Jiang, but Li Jiang directly pushed the tea away and took out the wine pot himself.
Gu Yucheng was accustomed to seeing this, and waited quietly for Li Jiang's instructions. Li Jiang took a big sip of wine, and the sweet smell of plum blossoms filled the corners of his mouth. Gu Yucheng felt a little tipsy just by smelling it, and asked in surprise, "This wine?"
Li Jiang smiled and said, "This wine, no, her name is 'Wen Xiang'." Rumor has it that during the Jierjing Northern Expedition, the army encountered a cold winter and the sergeants were homesick, so they picked plum blossoms and brewed strong wine, and drank it to keep out the cold. Sleep, return home in a dream..."
Although Gu Yucheng wanted to taste it, he still endured it.
Li Jiang took a few more sips, and then said happily, "I said you committed a foul, not because you did something wrong, but because what you did was not in the interest of the Qian family. - Pay attention, what I said It’s not in the interest of anyone in the Qian family, what I’m saying is that it’s not in the interest of the Qian family as a whole.”
Gu Yucheng pondered and began to think seriously about what Li Jiang said.
Li Jiang let go of the jug and put it on the table, "Let me tell you a story. There is a story in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". A group of bandits robbed a Qin man named Niu Que. Niu Que acted very calmly. The thieves asked him to take out the money in his bag, and Niu Que took it out and handed it to the thieves. The thieves asked for his carriage and horses, but Niu Que still didn't panic and handed over the carriage and horses calmly. At this time, the thieves were already shocked, but still Extorting Niu Que's remaining clothes, Niu Que actually handed over the clothes without any hesitation just like before. At this time, the thieves were stunned. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say. So Niu Que He left directly. The thieves didn't stop him for a moment. - Niu Que, how is this person?"
Gu Yucheng couldn't help but nodded and said, "He is a wise man. He knows all the principles of the golden age and does not care about things outside himself, so he saved his life."
Li Jiang smiled proudly, as if he already knew Gu Yucheng's answer. Li Jiang took another sip of wine and continued, "No, Niu Que is dead."
"No? Didn't survive?! Because of what? What other reasons?" Gu Yucheng asked slightly shocked.
Li Jiang glanced at Gu Yucheng and explained calmly, "This group of thieves came to their senses and quickly figured out the truth. People like Niu Que are not ordinary people. They will definitely ascend to high positions and hold great power in the future. They couldn't escape death. After all, today's thieves didn't show any mercy to him. So these thieves picked up knives and rode horses, chased Niu Que for thirty miles, and still killed Niu Que."
Li Jiang looked at Gu Yucheng indifferently and said coldly, "Niu Que did know him very clearly, but he didn't understand it well enough. - He only saw himself. He didn't see what the thieves were thinking, so he ignored the thieves' faces. The reaction to a talented person. Niu Que didn’t know how to hide or endure, so he was killed by the thieves and lost his life in vain.”
Gu Yucheng understood something and fell into silence.
Li Jiang continued, "The matter of Shouxu Mountain, the matter of the Commercial Street Competition, and the matter of Bei Shang Street, no matter how right you are, have you thought about the reaction of the Qian family?"
Gu Yucheng clenched his fists, and then slowly loosened his fists for a long time. He sighed deeply and said, "At any time, you have to think about the problem from the perspective of others. - This is what Miss Li wants to say. Although I keep worrying about money in the above things Wang Kuanglan's family power, but my behavior has already betrayed the Qian family. I have too many secrets that the Qian family doesn't know, and I am out of the control of the Qian family. And in the eyes of the Qian family, I am such an unfettered person. Even if people do the right thing, they are still wrong. They may even suppress them.”
Li Jiang sighed lightly, "Now I understand,
It's not too late. "
Gu Yucheng smiled faintly and made himself a cup of tea. He drank it lightly and sipped it, letting the bitterness and sweetness bloom in his mouth one after another.
Gu Yucheng admitted, "Niu Que's story is indeed a good story, and it is very meaningful to me. I actually thought that my actions would make the Qian family feel threatened and that they would be targeted by the Qian family, but I couldn't Stop.—I am not allowed to stop in any direction.”
For himself, for Xun Kui and Nan Xun, for his sister, and to keep going, Gu Yucheng could only choose to move forward.
Li Jiang looked at Gu Yucheng and could see that Gu Yucheng seemed to be carrying something on his shoulders.
Gu Yucheng took advantage of the moonlight and mixed the fragrance of tea into his words, blooming with full lightness. "When Qian Yangfeng came to me to confirm the affairs of Bei Shang Street, I had already guessed that I might be ostracized by the Qian family. It’s just that I have my own plans.”
Li Jiang could feel Gu Yucheng's fluctuating emotions hidden under those calm golden eyes, but in the end he could only choose to nod.
Gu Yucheng sighed and said, "Although the things I do without permission may bring trouble even if they are beneficial to the Qian family, I think it's probably not that the entire Qian family is ostracizing me. It's just the top brass of the Qian family, that's all." Qian Yangfeng, Qian Yangzhen and their two factions."
Li Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "These two people are already the future of the Qian family. What else do you want? If they are two, they are not the entire Qian family?"
Gu Yucheng denied in a deep voice, "Not really."
Li Jiang looked at Gu Yucheng carefully and wanted to ask why it didn't count, but looking at Gu Yucheng's silent expression, he finally chose to stay silent along with Gu Yucheng.
Gu Yucheng was silent for a long time. At this time, Gu Yucheng was thinking about the Qian family disciples.
In fact, all the power of a sect comes from its disciples, even in previous dynasties. It's a pity that the special status of Donkey Elephant and Qian Xiao in Renhuang Province has led to the disciples being used by the two major families in various ways...
Gu Yucheng could see the crux of the Renhuang Province, but unfortunately he was unable to correct it.
A little depressed.
Seeing Gu Yucheng's gloomy look, Li Jiang raised his head and drank all the wine in the flask, then pulled away and pulled Gu Yucheng out.
Gu Yucheng looked at Li Jiang at a loss. Li Jiang was a little drunk at this time, with a rosy complexion and the smell of alcohol, and he was charming.
Li Jiang directly took off the scabbard from his waist, pulled out the knife, raised the scabbard, and ordered Gu Yucheng with a smile, "I came to remind you with good intentions, but I didn't expect that you already knew the rules you had broken! It really makes me feel I’m so angry! There’s also the matter of Daijun and agency! I didn’t ask you to settle the score! Come on! Have a good fight with me and I’ll spare you.”
Seeing that Li Jiang was already drunk, Gu Yucheng was afraid that the sword would accidentally hurt him, so he wanted to apologize directly and escape the disaster. However, Li Jiang was half drunk and rushed towards Gu Yucheng with the knife raised.
Gu Yucheng could only escape from the table, walked around a few times, then quickly opened the window and climbed out, landing in the courtyard of the store, and he was so shocked that he was stunned.
Gu Yucheng fled and circled, and Li Jiang was confused for a moment.
Li Jiang held the knife and yelled, "Fight and not fight! What kind of man are you!"
Gu Yucheng's face did not change and he said directly, "Tonight is not a good time to wield swords and guns. Let's have a good discussion with Miss Li later!"
Li Jiang chuckled and turned his sword around, saying, "Today, I'm venting my anger on you, not discussing it with you! Just accept it!"
Seeing this, Gu Yucheng complained incessantly and ran away quickly.
Gu Yucheng ran away, and Li Jiang chased him.
First, Li Jiang was still drunk. Secondly, Gu Yucheng's ancient spiritual power was so advanced that he hid like a squid, sticking to the blade and unable to cut at all. Back and forth, the two of them kept chasing each other
.
Li Jiang chased for a long time, then stopped and pointed a knife at Gu Yucheng, "If you run away again, I will smash your store!"
When Gu Yucheng heard this, he stopped helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Miss Li, why are you doing this?"
Li Jiang didn't even look at Gu Yucheng, he threw a sword to Gu Yucheng, and then said directly to Gu Yucheng, "I won't bully you either! Although this sword is not as good as the sword in my hand, it can still withstand several blows." !”
Gu Yucheng picked up the sword, looked around, and asked in panic, "How many swords can I resist? How many swords are there? Give me a count!"
Li Jiang said nothing, raised his knife and rushed towards Gu Yucheng.
Gu Yucheng quickly accepted the challenge.
Before the two of them could fight, they heard crows calling one after another.
The sound of the crow seems to be crying, telling something, and praising something? It hit their minds like a rolling stone. It actually made the two of them in a trance.
It was during this trance that Gu Yucheng's sword blocked the front of the knife and broke with a sound.
The sound of breaking immediately woke up the two of them, who were still in a trance due to the crows' crows, and immediately woke up.
Gu Yucheng and Li Jiang looked closely, only to see that the sword body was broken into three pieces. There is a very long sword tip connected to the sword body, lying on the ground, pointing south; a middle sword body part is inserted into the ground. There is also the last section, also lying on the ground.
Gu Yucheng first saw the sword body in the middle, then the tip, and finally the last section of the sword.
Gu Yucheng was horrified. He always felt that the broken blade of the sword seemed to indicate something...
Although Li Jiang still smelled of alcohol, he also became sober.
Li Jiang looked at Gu Yucheng, then at himself, and then said, "Your realm has not improved, but you always feel that there is some improvement in other places. Otherwise, this sword will not be disconnected."
Gu Yucheng didn't think about the competition at this time. He only looked at the broken sword on the ground and asked, "Just now, did you hear the crow?"
Li Jiang nodded, "I heard it. It's still the crow of a large number of crows."
Gu Yucheng frowned and said, "The crow crows on the mountain, and the sword breaks under the moon. This..."
Li Jiang waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't be so suspicious. You must know that the crow has the deified image of Yang Wu carrying the sun, and there is also a saying that 'the crow announces good news, and then there is Zhouxing'. - Crow, although it is often associated with death. , but in fact it is also a good news, it just depends on the specific situation."
Gu Yucheng reluctantly nodded and said, "I have actually heard this statement before. It's just that... crows are always accompanied by death, which inevitably makes people feel unhappy."
Li Jiang laughed and said, "Why are you so timid?"
Gu Yucheng smiled bitterly, "I've been feeling restless these past few days."
Li Jiang comforted him and said, "Everyone is afraid of death, but death also needs to be faced openly. Death does not necessarily bring destruction, but maybe rebirth! - As long as it is not passively seeking death or dying unexpectedly, death is actually A part of life. What’s more, this sword has nothing to do with crows.”
Gu Yucheng suddenly laughed.
Li Jiang glanced sideways, "What, what I said is wrong?"
Gu Yucheng shook his head, "I just didn't expect that Miss Li would think about such philosophical questions."
Li Jiang smiled lightly and said, "Who doesn't have another side?"
Gu Yucheng suddenly fell silent, nodded with deep approval and said, "Yes. Indeed." Then he asked, "Then, this competition?"
Li Jiang glanced at Gu Yucheng, then at the sword without the blade in Gu Yucheng's hand, then he drew his sword, turned around and left, "This time, I'll let you go first!"
Looking at Li Jiang's back, Gu Yucheng couldn't help but sigh at the moonlight and his free and easy nature.
