Chapter 27 Shame and pride
Di Choufei smiled, looked at Xu Zhenyan, and said slowly: "There is indeed no pleasure in bullying little people, but since there is no pleasure, why does Mr. Xu come to this place?"
After walking out of the mines in the Dragon Snake Mountains, Di Choufei was no longer as sharp as before. He was like a sword that had been hidden in the sheath. Only the round hilt was exposed, and the hidden sword was hidden.
A sword in its sheath that cannot be seen in its entirety is always more mysterious and powerful than an exposed sword.
Xu Zhenyan was like a gloomy dark cloud. He glanced at Di Choufei and said, "I'm not here to see Tang Ke, a classmate of Qingluan College. I'm here to see you."
"Oh?" Di Choufei looked at Xu Zhenyan jokingly: "I wonder what Master Xu wants from me?"
"Wen Xuanshu helped me up and transferred you from the Dragon Snake Mountain Range just to make us dog-eat-dog and suppress each other." Xu Zhenyan said gloomily: "But we have a common enemy, so we don't need to be like him.
As arranged."
Di Choufei laughed.
Thinking of what had happened before and his courage to enter Zhenlong Mountain, his laughter was filled with pride and contempt, and his long hair like a black waterfall was flying behind him.
"You are wrong, you have been wrong from the beginning. I have never regarded myself as Wen Xuanshu's dog, and no one stipulates that if we have a common enemy, we will definitely become friends. And even if it is just trading and cooperation, I will
I will not cooperate with someone who would betray his own father." Di Choufei smiled and walked past Xu Zhenyan and got into his carriage.
Xu Zhenyan was not angry, but the coldness between his brows became a little thicker. He did not look back at Di Choufei, who was about to leave in the carriage, but said coldly: "I heard a piece of news. Zhou Shoufu has prepared to take him away."
My daughter, Gao Yanan, who is also one of my classmates, is betrothed to Lin Xi. Lin Xi should get married soon. I also heard certain news that Leng Zhennan’s daughter is also my classmate. Leng Qiuyu and I are other
One of Lin Xi’s classmates, Li Kaiyun, fell in love with each other, and Li Kaiyun was also one of Lin Xi’s best and most caring friends in the college.”
Di Choufei entered the carriage calmly and closed the door curtain without any response.
His carriage leaves.
Xu Zhenyan slowly turned around and walked towards his carriage.
A young criminal official helped Xu Zhenyan lift the door curtain, stared hard at the carriage that Di Choufei was driving away in high spirits, and said in a cold voice: "Di Choufei is really too arrogant and arrogant."
"He has such qualifications." Xu Zhenyan sat in the dark carriage and said coldly: "No one in the military has more real power than him now, and there are almost no Saint Masters in Zhongzhou City. According to reliable information, he may
I don’t have to wait until next summer to break through to the Holy Master. After all, he is the student with the highest spiritual talent in the entire Xianyi Academy for more than ten years. When I was a student who just entered Qingluan Academy, he was already a Dragon Snake Bianjun.
It is normal for a commander-in-chief of a front army to look down on me."
The young criminal official personally held the whip and drove the carriage, and said bitterly: "But my lord, your power in the court is not inferior to his."
Xu Zhenyan waved his hand, interrupted the young criminal department official, and said coldly: "None of this matters. The important thing is that the more proud and confident he is, and the less he sees me as his opponent, the more he will
He can't help but deal with Lin Xi... and he also knows that this is what the Holy One wants to do. He knows that doing so will make him more appreciated by the Holy One and get more power from the Holy One. I
What we have to do is watch him and Lin Xi fight dog."
The young Criminal Division official was slightly startled and said with sincere admiration: "Your Excellency is wise."
Xu Zhenyan closed his eyes, put on a blanket, and said expressionlessly: "Please help me keep an eye on the Liu family. I don't understand. After the Wen Xuan Shu Autumn Festival was launched, everyone seemed to be Wen Xuan Shu.
Absolute advantage, the local officials are all ambiguous, why is the provincial governor of the Liu family so anxious to send troops to rescue, so anxious to show his loyalty to the emperor? What makes them think that the emperor will win? "
The young criminal department official was stunned again.
Thinking of the local army that was heading north at the moment, he remembered that there were indeed many doubts in it. After he came to his senses and nodded, a thought came to his mind, why do you think the emperor will win?
Standing so firmly on the emperor's side? But naturally he didn't dare to ask this question.
…
…
In the past ten days, Emperor Yun Qin's political orders were unprecedentedly smooth, and he issued many decrees.
A local army came from Shanyin Province to prepare for a battle with the Zhongzhou Guard rebels. Before they arrived, the largest rebellion since the founding of Yunqin had ended, and then a decree allowed this local army to
Head all the way north to the Four Seasons Plain at the northernmost tip of the empire.
Di Choufei was awarded the title of General Pingbo and took charge of the Zhongzhou Guard...Xu Zhenyan, who was originally the second-largest figure in the Imperial Department, also served as the deputy chief of the Criminal Division.
The Priesthood chose another location and was no longer located in Zhongzhou City, and some military priests were also ordered to be transferred back. The emperor's vague intention was that in the future, the Yunqin priests would only be able to interact with some Taoist priests in Yunqin.
Similarly, they promote some of their own ideas, but they are unable to participate in internal affairs, and they are completely separated from the military.
Some of Lin Xi's enemies began to have more powerful power and began to do some things.
According to their news, Lin Xi seemed to have done nothing during this period of time and was just recuperating peacefully. However, neither Di Choufei nor Xu Zhenyan believed that Lin Xi had done nothing.
In fact, Lin Xi has indeed taken advantage of the period of recuperation to think carefully about some things and what he can do next. During these days, he has also done some things in an orderly manner to deal with his opponents.
In other words, something big enough to be scary.
As Xu Zhenyan's carriage drove slowly back to Zhongzhou City from the suburbs, Chen Feirong was replying to Lin Xi in a Dadexiang shop in Wenling, Qiantang Province.
She has never doubted or opposed any of Lin Xi's decisions, especially when it comes to Da Dexiang's business decisions. She has always implemented Lin Xi's decisions 100%, but this time, she still needs to make one final decision.
Sure, she felt that she needed to tell Lin Xi some details about Da Dexiang.
She wrote a reply, handed it to the soap making workshop not far behind the shop, and then just waited.
Qiantang Province was not far away from Nanling Province, but only two days later, she received a reaffirming reply from Lin Xi.
She no longer hesitated, and as the great shopkeeper of Da Dexiang, she notified Nanling, Nanlin, and Nanling, the three southernmost provinces of the empire, plus all Da Dexiang shops in the two provinces of Qiantang and Xiangshui.
She began to implement this decision that made her tremble like never before.
…
…
A little girl sucking her fingers stood not far from a rice noodle shop in Da Dexiang.
She is not a beggar. She is neatly dressed and decent, with a pair of braids. She is very cute. There is also a house in this street with flowers and plants at the door.
But she is very hungry now.
She wants to cry now.
Half of it was because I was so hungry that I wanted to cry, and half of it was because of shame.
She felt it was embarrassing to stand in front of the store and look at the rice noodles inside.
She felt that she had tried not to go to the place selling steamed buns, but why couldn't she move even when she saw such raw rice noodles, and wanted to run over and grab a handful and put it in her mouth?
The grandfather of this neat little girl, an old man who was also wearing a clean coarse cloth jacket, looked at the little girl and he also wanted to cry.
The front line heard that a great victory had been won, and it would be impossible for the barbarians to attack for a while, so they returned to their locked homes.
It’s just that the farmland has been abandoned for too long, and there is destined to be no harvest this autumn. Many businessmen here have also left, and many businesses cannot continue for a while, especially many like his family who make a living by doing crafts and small businesses.
It was a relatively well-to-do small family. After a long journey to escape, they were already penniless when they returned home. The adults could barely hold on, hungry and thinking about what to do, slowly holding on.
In the past. But how can a child who has not had a full meal these past few days survive?
Looking at his granddaughter who was sucking her fingers and turning sallow, the old man who wanted to cry became heartbroken and decided to pawn the only valuable thing in his family, an old jade passed down from his family, even though this piece of family affection was worth it.
Lao Yu, whose value is much higher than the actual value, may only be able to feed his beloved granddaughter for a few meals.
The bluestone pavements in the streets are very clean, and there are no beggars. However, many people are hungrier than the beggars. The houses are empty. Many people went to the fields to dig grass roots and catch voles during the day.
As usual, the weather in Yunqin is very bad and there are natural disasters in consecutive years. If the disaster relief food from above does not come down, the people in all these streets and alleys can only survive in various ways.
A fast horse arrived at the door of the Dade Xiang Rice Shop carrying the dust that could not be washed away.
When an old shopkeeper came out of Mipu and took a document from the rider, he happened to look at the old man holding the girl. Seeing the shameful look of the pair of granddaughters, the old shopkeeper also wanted to cry.
He also wants to help these people, but his salary is limited after all, and it is impossible to help all the neighbors in this street. As for the rice noodles in the rice shop, they belong to Da Dexiang, not him, and he cannot go against himself
responsibilities.
He thought about buying a white flour bun later and secretly stuffing it to the little girl, and then he opened the letter heavily from the shopkeeper he respected, Da Dexiang.
At least it was precisely because of the previous decisions and plans of the big shopkeeper he respected that at least rice noodles could be sold in such streets and alleys... In such heavy thoughts, the moment he saw the words in the letter, this man
The old shopkeeper's hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and his breathing stopped completely. His forehead was a little cold, but his chest was indescribably hot.
"Our store!"
He quickly scanned the contents of the letter again to make sure that he had not misread it, then he almost choked and suddenly shouted two words loudly.
Just these two words, in the empty streets and alleys at this time, seemed particularly powerful and grand.
The little girl and the old man, who were ashamed and wanted to cry, stopped and turned their heads blankly, looking at the old shopkeeper who straightened his chest and was breathing rapidly as if he was going to have a stroke. They didn't know what happened.
The old shopkeeper seemed to be more inspired, and his chest became straighter.
In this very cold late autumn, he sang loudly like an opera singer and announced: "In our store... we can provide rice and noodles on credit from now on!"
