Dongfang Sui looked at Gu Jingu with a puzzled expression. Although he didn't understand what he was going to say, it was the first time he heard such impassioned words. He pointed at himself and recited them, and immediately applauded: "Good words.

, Good words! Can the old gentleman read it again? "

Gu Jingu shook his head in a daze and whispered: "Don't leak the secrets of heaven, otherwise you will be punished by heaven. Young Master, just treat it like an old man and say nothing."

Lin Ying had already taken out a few grains of silver from her purse, put them on the dining table, pushed them in front of Gu Jingu, and said with a joking smile: "Since the old gentleman has revealed the secret, why not use this silver to resolve the divine punishment!"

Gu Jingu glared at Lin Ying, and covered the small pile of broken silver with his skinny hands.

Seeing Gu Jingu quickly put the money into his arms, Shu'er looked at Lin Ying with a smile: "It seems that the secret is not expensive." Then he turned his head and pulled Xu Song to the dining table and said: "Grandpa Xu, I am Xiao Shu'er.

. When I arrived in Linjiang at the beginning of the year, you treated me to a meal in this restaurant, and I will give it back to you today."

Lu, who was still standing there, added: "It's not just today? Mr. Xu, have you ever paid for your visit to our restaurant in the past two years?"

Xu Song thought for a while and said: "It seems that I haven't paid for my meal for a long time... But didn't you say that there was a guest officer who liked to listen to my stories, so he paid for all my meals?"

Lu Dao: "That guest officer is Xiao Shu'er. She came back two years ago and happened to meet you. I remember that you were not happy that she took your window seat."

Xu Song nodded with a smile, and said to Shu'er: "Young girl knows how to repay her kindness, she is a good girl!" After saying that, he took off the wine gourd from his waist, handed it to Lu, and said to Lu: "Hurry up and get the wine.

Serving the dishes, I want to hear carefully what kind of money-making business Xiao Suer has done over the years, she is really generous!"

Lu Xiao said to Shu'er: "Then I'll go get some good wine and some good food first, and you guys can talk first."

Several people sat around a table, and Shu'er looked at the open scenery outside the window and laughed at himself: "The most profitable way to make a living is, of course, to establish relationships with a bunch of wealthy relatives."

Xu Song said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Su'er, crooked things will never go far! Jianghu is sinister because of people like you who love opportunism and only brag about flattery."

Gu Jingu stared blankly at Shu'er, Lin Ying and Dongfang Sui who were sitting opposite him, without saying a word.

Shu'er said seriously: "Grandpa Xu, only if I make the world dangerous, only storytellers like you can have stories to tell and money to make!"

Xu Song snorted: "Quia!" Then he looked at Lin Ying and Dongfang Sui and asked, "Are these two good-looking rich young masters the rich relatives you have become friends with?"

Dongfang Sui and Lin Ying said in unison: "Indeed."

Shu'er chuckled.

Gu Jingu whispered in a low voice: "Being rich and powerful means great right and wrong. When Zhaohuang looks back, there are three gatherings of purple energy."

Shu'er and Xu Song reminisced about old times, and Gu Jingu occasionally muttered a few words alone. Lin Ying only listened to Shu'er talking and laughing, but Dongfang Sui looked at the mysterious old man opposite him curiously, and asked again: "What did the old man just read?"

What’s the word? Juniors are really ignorant.”

Gu Jingu waved his folding fan and pretended to be confused: "What word? I have a bad brain and can't remember it."

Dongfang rolled his eyes in surprise, then tugged on Lin Ying's sleeve and said maliciously: "Isn't my cousin smart? Do you still remember the poem just now?"

Lin Ying shook her head helplessly. "Little Dongfang, you still don't believe that I have a photographic memory? Do you have to ask me to memorize hundreds of volumes of manuscripts on the island for you to be satisfied?"

Dongfang smiled sadly: "Brother, I am not interested in those manuscripts about old sesame seeds and rotten millet. As for the poem just now, if my cousin can write it out word by word, I will be convinced! I will never..."

Lin Ying mocked: "Come on, little Dongfang, your heart is as big as the sky. I can't bear to be convinced by you again and again." So while speaking, she dipped her right index finger into the water in the tea bowl and placed it on the wooden table.

I slowly wrote out the poem.

Gu Jingu looked at the slowly evaporating words and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Dongfang Sui saw Gu Jingu shaking his head, so he asked with a smile: "Old sir, where did my cousin write wrong?"

Gu Jingu looked at Lin Ying and said: "Not a single word left. God is jealous of the genius."

Lin Ying raised her chin and said to Dongfang: "I don't know if God is jealous of the Wizards. However, I know that you, little Dongfang, are jealous of me."

Dongfang glared at Lin Ying with displeasure, and Lin Ying continued to gloat: "Control your jealousy that makes your eyes burning in the sky! Wen, you can't compare to Brother Lin and me, and Wu, you can't compare to Rong.

Brother. As for your appearance, tsk tsk, hahaha... Who told you that you were born at the wrong time and became one of my generation? Don't frown! If you are a good man, you must do what you say. Tell your cousin quickly, what are you going to do to me?

Am I 'sincerely convinced'?"

Shu'er patted Lin Ying's shoulder and interrupted: "Why do you keep messing with him when you have nothing to do? Be careful if I'm not around someday, he'll beat you up!"

Lin Ying said with a playful smile: "It's okay, I was beaten anyway, and it was Sister Shu'er who gave me the medicine." Then she looked sideways at Dongfang Sui, saying that you wouldn't let your sister give me the medicine, so naturally you wouldn't beat me.

I.

Dongfang Sui was so angry that Lin Ying gritted his teeth. Fortunately, Lu Duan came with food at this time.

Lu sat across from Shu'er and asked a few questions about Shu'er's experiences over the years. However, Shu'er either answered perfunctorily or was interrupted by Lin Ying and took away the conversation. So Lu stopped asking and turned his head.

He said to Xu Song: "Mr. Xu, you haven't come to our restaurant for a few days to tell stories, but you went to visit the mountains and rivers again?"

Xu Song said: "Of course I want to travel around the mountains and rivers. Otherwise, how can I make up stories for you? I went to the Song Dynasty."

Lu was surprised and said: "Song State? Didn't Song State just move its capital? I heard that Song State was in chaos. Why did you go all the way to Song State?"

Xu Song said happily: "I just want to see for myself how the Song Dynasty, which was so powerful back then, was defeated by the four-nation allied forces, and how it was forced to move out of Yudu and back to their hometown of Yide!

Hehe, do they think that because the old capital of Yide is close to our Chu country, it is safe? Let me tell you, our new king is a thief!

Who is Dongfang Yu? He is the number one counselor in Chu State. Even though King Sheng named him a military counselor, he is a counselor at heart! Counselors are the most insidious and cunning!

Who harmed the late king?

Our 'King of Advisors' said that it was the six kings who joined forces to kill him. In fact, he was just taking the opportunity to get rid of the unsightly six kings! Now that the six kings are dead, the military power of the seven counties has gradually been returned to our king.

.But how could we, a shrewd king, let the late king die in vain?

The death of the late king can be exploited by the King of Advisers again to blame the Song State! When the Song State is almost beaten by the four-nation allied forces, and when the Song State relaxes its vigilance against the Chu State, our treacherous and cunning new king will

Only then would he attack the Song Dynasty.

He pretended to be ill recently and did not send any Chu people to attack the Song Dynasty. It looked like a turtle with its head down, but in fact, it was like a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind! Qi wanted to occupy the Jade Capital and restore the country. It was a powerful force against the Jade Capital.

The unlucky little Song King must move back to his old capital Yide, relying on the Chu State that has not sent troops, and relying on the so-called century-old turn between Song and Chu, which can be regarded as a delaying strategy.

However, the King of Song Dynasty postponed his troops, but he did not know that our great king was hiding his strength and biding his time.

So, old man, I took advantage of the Song Kingdom not being destroyed a few days ago to have one last trip."

Lu asked: "Mr. Xu's story is quite good, but how do you know that our Highness is hiding his power and biding his time? How do you know what our Highness is thinking?"

Xu Song said: "You are a waiter in a shop, what do you know? I tell you, old man, what our Highness is best at is to hide one's strength and bide one's time. He will only make a big splash if he doesn't make a sound."

Lu Bujie: "How do you say this?"

Xu Song replied: "Why do you think King Sheng has been unable to unify Chu even though he has won many battles over the years? This must have come from his most trusted Lord Dongfang, who is now the king.

idea.

Dongfang Yu has always been good at hiding his power and biding his time, waiting for the opportunity to move. To unify the Chu State, he waited for the opportunity when the seven kings fought without bloodshed, and the Song State had no time to take care of itself. To destroy the Song State, he could also wait. This time, the opportunity he waited for was for the Four Kingdoms to attack the Song Dynasty.

After conquering the Jade City, the Song Kingdom will move eastward in a large scale and will be in front of our Chu Kingdom. With the allies of the four countries in the west and the old counselors of the Chu Kingdom in the east, our Chu Kingdom will definitely be able to wipe out the Song Kingdom this time."

Shu'er listened to Xu Song and speculated on his father's thoughts like a storyteller, while looking out the window with his chin on his head.

Brother, have you left Yudu?

When we were children, we lay on the star-catching platform and looked at the stars. We could never finish counting the stars, and time passed so slowly.

In the White Jade Palace, you and I met again on the vermilion carpet. I naughtily put the sword your father had used on your left shoulder. But you were not angry at all, and even let me leave the Song Dynasty easily.

I always thought that as long as you were here, even if I demolished the White Jade Palace, you could still protect me. But now, you have left the White Jade Palace. Between you and me, we will never be able to return to our childhood.

The Chushui River in the distance has clear blue waves, the willows on the east bank are lush green, and there is an endless stream of ships coming and going...

Calmly, you finally return to the place where you were born.

When your identity is revealed to the world, there will no longer be my "Zhuge Congrong" in this world. I will not force the three things Zhuge Congrong once promised me.

When you restore Qi State as the son of the conquered princess of Qi State, Empress Xiao will no longer be ridiculed and reviled by the world.

When you, as the son of King Huai of Song Dynasty, conquer the Song Dynasty and drive out the Rong people, tiger and wolf troops, perhaps the unification of the nine states will not be far away.

When you become emperor and have to kill your brother Liu, I will have no choice but to sever all ties with you.
